About SIAM News

The objective of SIAM News—the newsjournal of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)—is to publicize the state of the art in applied math, computational science, and data science and highlight important real-world applications of mathematical research. By doing so, the publication lays the groundwork for scientific advances and new discoveries, facilitates efforts to address the world’s most pressing problems, and enables leaders and policymakers to make informed decisions. 

By providing coverage of novel applications of mathematics and innovative uses of mathematical methods in a multitude of areas—from biology and medicine to physics and Earth science—SIAM News is intended for both SIAM members and the overall community that is served by the organization. Our readers work in a wide array of areas in applied/computational math and range from students to professors and senior researchers. SIAM News also publishes book reviews, relevant updates from SIAM headquarters, and content that pertains to science policy, careers and professional development, mathematics education, software, ethics, and trends in the discipline — all of which may interest educators, policymakers, and individuals in regulatory and administrative roles.

SIAM News has two components: the print newsjournal, which publishes 10 times per year, and SIAM News Online, the corresponding website. Print articles appear both in print and online, while blog articles appear solely on the website.

Do you have information to share about novel research advancements or events and happenings in the realm of applied math, computational science, or data science? Take a look at our guidelines for submission to SIAM News. Suggestions for both print and online articles should be addressed to Lina Sorg, managing editor, at either [email protected] or [email protected]. Letters to the editor are also welcome.
