About SIAM2020 www.siam.org 2 ABOUT SIAM 2020 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a leading international organization of researchers, educators, practitioners, and students whose primary interest is in mathematics and computational science and their applications. SIAM’s mission is to advance and raise awareness about applied math and related fields through its publications, conferences, online resources, programs and initiatives, and communities like student chapters, sections, and activity groups. Incorporated in 1952 as a non-profit organization, SIAM has worked for more than 65 years to: • advance the application of mathematics and computational science to engineering, industry, science, and society; • promote research that will lead to effective new mathematical and computational methods and techniques; • provide media for the exchange of information and ideas among mathematicians, engineers, and scientists. SIAM serves its diverse group of professionals through: SIAM is the premier organization for applied mathematicians and • Activity groups computational scientists representing academia, industry, and government, • Career development “ and serves the community worldwide.
