University of California, Los Angeles Student Chapter

Applied mathematics at UCLA, beyond the classroom

We are the University of California, Los Angeles Student Chapter of SIAM, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. The chapter is open to undergraduate and graduate students from any major who use mathematics on problems in science, engineering, industry and society.

What we're planning

• Talks. Guest speakers from industry, applied mathematics and pure mathematics.

• Modeling competitions. An introduction to COMAP's MCM/ICM and training for teams.

• Student-led workshops. Small groups on topics members choose, such as reproducing classic machine learning results, mathematical imaging, mathematical finance and percolation theory.

• Student research. Undergraduates present modeling-competition papers and REU research.

• SIAM conferences. Going to SIAM meetings together, with help applying for SIAM student travel awards.
