Welcome to the Bath SIAM-IMA Student Chapter!
About Us
We are the student chapter affiliated with both SIAM (the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) and the IMA (Institute for Mathematics and its Applications) at the University of Bath. We are run by a committee of PhD students from the maths department. We organise math-related events for our members, and overall provide the space for individuals interested in applied maths to meet, socialise, and form a community. Our society is open to students at the University of Bath from any discipline, but have a keen interest in maths and its application in the world!
