Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics - Warwick student chapter |
 |
Based in Warwick's Mathematics department, our main aim is to organise seminars, workshops and events for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. These talks are presented by academics in applied mathematics as well as people working in industry. This provides a great opportunity for students to informally meet researchers from various disciplines and backgrounds.
Our chapter also provides a link with the international SIAM community allowing members to benefit from the various opportunities offered by SIAM.
Students and postdocs of any department who are interested in Industrial Mathematics and its Applications are encouraged to join the chapter here. Membership is free and members will be eligible for free membership to SIAM.
Events
Using Maths to Build a Better Tesco
When it gets hot people buy more burgers, but how many more? If the potatoes are about to go off, you can sell them by reducing the prices, but how do you work out how much to reduce? Customers expect 100% availability at all times, but we don't know what they are going to buy, so how much stock is enough? Discover how Britain’s biggest retailers uses mathematics to understand its customers and drive its supply chain.
After graduating from the University of Cambridge with a degree in Mathematics, Neil began work at Tesco PLC as an analyst in 2006. For two years he worked on the implementation of a new fresh food ordering system that saved £28 million annually in waste. From 2009 onwards, he leads a team of nine analysts and experts using cutting edge statistics and big data to transform Tesco's supply chain by making better orders.
Please join us at 4pm on Thursday 14th February in MS.05 for what I am sure will be a highly interesting and entertaining talk. There will be some snacks and juice available after the talk. We will also be taking the speaker out for dinner on campus, please feel free to join us.
SIAM Oxford Warwick day
Our second event for the this term will be a SIAM Oxford/Warwick Young Researchers in Applied Mathematics Meeting. SIAM members from both the Oxford chapter and the Warwick chapter will present their research in the form of talks and posters. The talks will be held at 2pm to 6pm onWednesday 14th of November in B1.01. We will start off with lunch around 1pm in the common room.
This event is part of the Example Based Mini-Course on Mathematical Modelling run by Professor John Ockendon from Oxford.
Please register here by Wednesday 31st of October and if you would like to give a talk or a poster presentation, then please indicate on the form. There will be prizes for the best talk and the best poster at the event.
The talks will be in B1.01.
