Student Chapters

A SIAM student chapter resides at one or more colleges or universities, and ideally involves students and faculty members from different departments. The purpose of a chapter is to generate interest in applied mathematics and computational science by providing students opportunities to:

• Share ideas and enthusiasm with fellow students and faculty from any relevant department on campus
• Explore career opportunities
• Make contacts that will last a lifetime
• Develop leadership skills

SIAM encourages interdisciplinary participation by students from many departments on campus. Chapters include students from departments including math, applied math, mathematical sciences, statistics, computer science, engineering, economics, physics, and other sciences. The activities of student chapters can include lunch discussions about career opportunities in applied math and computational science, lectures given by guest speakers, team projects such as undergraduate competitions, social functions, and field trips to industrial laboratories or SIAM section meetings.
