Public Awareness

In accordance with the goals and mission, SIAM works with the media, our membership, institutions, academia, corporations, students, scientific societies and the general public to advance the application of mathematics and computational science to engineering, industry, science, and society. We promote member research, SIAM conferences, events, prizes and publications, deliver timely information regarding science policy to members and policy makers, and provide for the exchange of relevant information and ideas to the international community. We are happy to accept requests for promotion of relevant events or announcements. Please be aware that this request and content will need to fit SIAM criteria for promotion, and it should be expected that publishing will happen at least 2-3 weeks after receiving the request.

m3
MathWorks Math Modeling (M3) Challenge is a contest for high school juniors and seniors. Through participation, students experience what it’s like to work as a team to tackle a real-world problem under time and resource constraints, akin to those faced by professional mathematicians working in industry. M3 Challenge has drawn the participation of more than 37,000 students (one third female), 4,000 high schools, 5,000 teachers, and 400 professional mathematician judges and has awarded more than $1.2 million in scholarships since 2006.
