The Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), at the national/international level, is dedicated to the advancement of the application of mathematics and computational science, promoting research, and providing media for the exchange of information and ideas among fields. As a member of SIAM you will be able to benefit from, and contribute to, those goals.
What does that mean for you? First, NCSU students are eligible for a free membership in SIAM. Follow these directions to join SIAM:
Go to the SIAM member registration website (https://www.siam.org/membership/join-siam/individual-members)
Click on “Student”
Choose “Free Graduate Student” membership, then follow the directions on the website
We (the NCSU chapter of SIAM) will be hosting multiple events this semester. Due to current circumstances, all events will be online. So far we plan on having 3 industry related talks and a couple of graduate student talks/tutorials. These talks will be sent to the SIAM list once they are scheduled. Unfortunately, being online means there won’t be free food (very sad), but talks will still give excellent insight into different mathematical fields and what it’s like to work in industry, national labs and/or other sectors.
If you are interested in giving a talk/tutorial, or have a recommendation for someone to speak, please email Justen Geddes (jgeddes@ncsu.edu)!
