Congratulations to the Newest Class of SIAM Fellows
SIAM Fellows are nominated by peers for excellence in research and/or industrial work, educational and community activities, or other forms of achievements related to the goals of our organization. This year, we are pleased to recognize 28 distinguished members as Fellows. Check out the full list and details on all 2019 Fellows and learn more about the SIAM Fellows Program.
Spread the Word: It's Math Stat Awareness Month
April is Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month! We all know that math and statistics play a vital part in everyday life. This month, let's share that message with those who may not know. Help spread the word by sharing past posters. Hear from Kathleen Kavanagh, SIAM Vice President for Education, why she feels this month is important.
M3 Challenge Judging Concludes, Top Teams Announced
In late March, 14 computation professionals and applied mathematicians came to SIAM offices in Philadelphia to read and assess the top papers submitted by high school teams across the U.S. for MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge, a program organized by SIAM.

Math in Our Lives Series: SIAM Journal on Dynamical Systems
How can math affect Olympic diving, public opinion, or flight safety? These are topics of recent SIAM journal articles, and addressed in our NEW video series - Math in our Lives! We'll be releasing one video each month through July 2019. Watch this video to find out how momentum and shape changes of dives can be described as math models, how people's social networks impact their opinions and the emergence of opinion clusters, and how math can help make flying safer. Stay tuned for more series videos! Learn more about SIAM Journal on Applied Dynamical Systems (SIADS) and watch the video.
