Weekly SIAM Student Seminar

During the Fall and Spring semesters of 2010-2011 the Georgia Tech SIAM student chapter holds a weekly seminar (see Schedule for details) from ? on ? in Skiles ?. These talks are given by students and possibly faculty and are either about their own research or someone else's in applied mathematics or related fields. If you are interested in giving a talk contact anyone of Linwei Xin or any of the SIAM officers.

Announcements

Shannon Bishop has been awarded the SIAM Student Chapter Certificate of Recognition for her contributions to the GT SIAM student chapter during 2009-2010.

Previous Events

March 6, (Saturday), 2010
SW SIAM Student Conference

School of Mathematics
Georgia Institute of Technology

The SIAM Student Chapter at Georgia Tech will be hosting a conference on March 6, (Saturday), 2010. This is an extension of the ACES Workshop which has been held yearly by the universities of Auburn, Clemson, Emory, and South Carolina since 2006. As with the ACES Workshop, this conference is an opportunity for graduate students to present their research in applied mathematics and related fields as well as to meet with other graduate students from different universities and departments.
