SIAM is the premier international organization for applied mathematicians and computational and data scientists. SIAM provides unique value to its members by bringing together its academic, government, and industry members; merging theoretical and applied topics; and setting the highest standards for its publications and conferences. I have been impressed by the extent of the service of members to SIAM—the success of our society is due to our active and engaged membership. – Tamara Kolda, Sandia National Labs, SIAM Board of Trustees
