Make the Most of Your Membership: Join an Activity Group!

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. Activity group membership is open only to SIAM members and dues are just $10 per year. Student members receive two free activity group memberships.

[NEW!] Applied Mathematics Education (SIAG/ED)

SIAG/ED chair Peter Turner, of Clarkson University.

"In recent years, education has grown as an area of interest for SIAM. The SIAM Education Committee and the associated Vice-President have addressed many related the issues for the society.  Members with strong research and practical interests in educational matters (primarily at undergraduate and graduate levels, but with an increasing awareness of the earlier stages of the pipeline) will now be able to engage and be represented by the new SIAM Activity Group on Applied Mathematics Education (SIAG/ED). The SIAG will have its first sponsored sessions at SIAM CSE15 in Salt Lake City. Preliminary planning is underway for the first SIAG/ED conference, probably in 2016. That meeting will likely coincide with the third SIAM-NSF Modeling Across the Curriculum workshop. The initial slate of officers for the SIAG is Chair Peter Turner, Clarkson University; Vice Chair Jeff Humpherys, Brigham Young University; Program Director Padhu Seshaiyer, George Mason University; and Secretary Ben Galluzzo, Shippensburg, University." -- Peter Turner, Clarkson University, Chair, SIAG/ED
