Featured SIAM Video

Watch SIAM's 'Math in Our Lives' Video Series

Have you ever tried to explain to your non-specialist friends and colleagues why applied math matters? How it impacts their everyday life? How it is shaping the future of technology? SIAM has worked with our journal Editors-in-Chief and professional science writers to create the ‘Math in our Lives’ video collection - a series of 90-second animations that showcase different fields and their associated SIAM journal. As valued members and ambassadors of SIAM, please watch these short animations and share them with your interested networks. Help us show that math matters and why! 

Don't forget to subscribe to SIAM's YouTube channel so you see more of our content, more easily.

Prizes & Awards

Congratulations to 12 prize winners in July!

Our prize winners traveled to conferences in Spain (ICIAM 2019), Switzerland (AG19), and Austria (SciCADE 2019 and OPSFA 2019) to receive their SIAM awards. Learn about their work and accomplishments.

Among the twelve are three early career researchers who won the SIAM Student Paper Prize for papers submitted to SIAM journals while they were students: Joseph L. Hart, Michael Lindsey, and Daniel Massatt. They will be recognized and present their papers at the 2020 SIAM Annual Meeting (AN20) held jointly with CAIMS.
