Final Program and Abstracts Sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Mathematical Aspects of Materials Science. The purpose of the SIAM Activity Group on Mathematical Aspects of Materials Science (SIAG/MS) is to bring together mathematicians, engineers, and scientists interested in the application of analysis and computation to problems in materials science. The SIAG serves as a meeting point for mathematicians, engineers, and scientists from all areas of computational and materials science, thus fostering cross-fertilization between fields, and from diverse venues such as academia, industry, and the national laboratories. The activity group sponsors the triennial SIAM Conference on Mathematical Aspects of Materials Science and minisymposia at the SIAM annual meetings. It also maintains a wiki, a member directory, and an electronic mailing list.
