SIAM STUDENT CHAPTERS

SIAM Student Chapters are organized at colleges and universities to encourage the promotion of applied mathematics and computational science to young mathematicians. Student Chapters provide opportunities to share ideas, learn about career opportunities in applied mathematics and computational science, and develop networks with faculty and fellow students.

Who participates in chapters?
SIAM encourages interdisciplinary participation, so a chapter ideally involves students and faculty members from different departments on campus.

What do chapters do?

Its easy! Send a letter of intent accompanied by a petition signed by at least 12 regular or student members of SIAM from any institution, including at least two faculty members at the sponsoring college or university. Everything you need is online a checklist, a petition form, and draft rules of procedure.
