SIAM Activity Groups (SIAGs) provide a focused forum for SIAM members interested in exploring specialized areas of applied mathematics and computational science. SIAGs organize conferences and minisymposia, disseminate newsletters, and award prizes. SIAG members receive targeted communications from peers, access to electronic membership directories, and additional discounts on SIAG-sponsored conferences.
