About us

Welcome to the Warwick Student Chapter of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)Link opens in a new window and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA)Link opens in a new window.

This Student Chapter is run and organised by a committee of PhD students all of whom are involved with applied mathematical research here at Warwick.

What we do

We aim to promote and encourage applied mathematical and computational research here at Warwick by bringing together a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate students (as well as staff!) from different academic disciplines. This facilitates the growth of the interdisciplinary research community here at Warwick and provides a platform for both students and staff to showcase the real-world and industrial applications of their research to a diverse audience.

We host the weekly Statistics, Probability, Analysis and Applied Mathematics (SPAAM) seminar seriesLink opens in a new window throughout the academic terms, which showcases some of the applied mathematics research currently being undertaken here at Warwick by PhD students. We also plan on hosting other events throughout the academic year, including an annual student conference, problem solving days (involving industrial partners of Warwick), workshop days and an academic/industry careers event.

How to get involved

SIAM Student Membership

If you are interested or would like to get involved in state-of-the-art applied mathematical research, we strongly encourage you to join the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)Link opens in a new window membership. This membership provides an excellent opportunity to connect with professional applied mathematicians!

SIAM provides free membership for members of the student chapter. Just come along to a SPAAM seminar or one of our other events, and you can indicate that you are a member of the Warwick Student Chapter when signing up for a free SIAM membership. This also helps us show SIAM that our chapter is alive and well!
