MIT-Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Welcome to the MIT Chapter of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). Official webpage: http://web.mit.edu/siam/www/

The MIT chapter of The Society for Applied and Industrial Mathematics (SIAM) was born on October 11th, 2011. It was initiated by a group of faculty members and graduate students who have been involved with SIAM in the past. SIAM is an international community of over 13,000 individual members. Almost 50 academic, manufacturing, research and development, service and consulting organizations, governm

ent, and military organizations worldwide are institutional members. The MIT-SIAM chapter is open to both undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in applied mathematics, computational science and mathematical applications in an engineering field.

By Jörn Behrens Introduction When I started my scientific career in atmospheric modeling, shallow water equations were considered a simple equation set; complex enough to serve as a useful test set, but not more than that [13]. Then I changed my application field to tsunami forecasting and found tha...

By Jessica Deters As mathematicians, numbers connect us; we all have an intimate connection with them. Consider picking a random number between 1 and 10. As we cycle through the options, each carries so much meaning that none feel truly random. Not even computers can generate truly random numbers. T...

By Mark Levi Symplectic maps of \({\mathbb R} ^{2n}\) are basic objects of Hamiltonian mechanics, and the time \(t\) map of a Hamiltonian system’s position-momentum pair is symplectic. Symplectic maps of \({\mathbb R} ^2\) are the area-preserving ones. I recently realized that the Archimedian law…

The 2008 worldwide financial crisis made it evident that the international banking network is subject to contagion – the failure of one or more banks can cause a cascade of effects, due in fact that banks often owe money to other banks or hold similar risky assets. But when Andreea Minca, assistant...

By Gudrun Albrecht, Daniel Gonsor, Stephen Mann, and Thomas J. Peters Due to dramatic progress in computer technology over the last sixty years, visualization of three-dimensional (3D) geometrical objects has become an essential part of many applications in fields such as the automotive and airplane...
