SIAM Gators is the student chapter of SIAM
"Society of industrial and applied mathematics"
at the University of Florida.
SIAM Gators holds biweekly meetings
on Tuesdays at 3:00 pm in LIT 368. Each meeting
consists of a presentation given by either a student or faculty
member on the subject of applied mathematics, followed by a
discussion period and refreshments. To see the schedule of the talks
throughout the semester, please click on

SIAM Gators held its
First SIAM Gators Conference
in March 3rd to March 4th, 2004.
This was in fact the first ever
student organized conference for SIAM.
It was unique in that it was run entirely
by students in the SIAM student group with
faculty acting only as advisors.
Here is the related

The second SIAM Gators Conference held in 2009.
We plan to have
The 3rd UF SIAM Gators Student Conference in October 10-12, 2013.
1st SIAM Colloquium on February 25, 2013
The invited speaker is Professor
Max Gunzburger
from Florida State university.
Title:
The science of ice sheets: the mathematical
modeling and computational simulation of ice flows
Abstract:
The melting of ice in Greenland and Antarctica
would, of course, be by far the major contributor any
possible sea level rise. Thus, to make science-based
predictions about sea-level rise, it is crucial that
the ice sheets covering those land masses be accurately
mathematically modeled and computationally simulated.
In fact, the 2007 IPCC report on the state of the climate
did not include predictions about sea level rise because
it was concluded there that the science of ice sheets was
not developed to a sufficient degree. As a result, predictions
could not be rationally and confidently made. In recent years,
there has been much activity in trying to improve the state-of-the-art
of ice sheet modeling and simulation. In this lecture, we review
a hierarchy of mathematical models for the flow of ice, pointing
out the relative merits and demerits of each, showing how they are coupled to other climate system components (ocean and atmosphere), and discussing where further modeling work is needed. We then discuss algorithmic approaches for the approximate solution of ice sheet flow models and present and compare results obtained from simulations using the different mathematical models.
2nd SIAM Colloquium on March 14, 2013

SIAM Gators T-shirts
Design of T-shirts is another interests
of SIAM Gators officers. Our first T-shirt was
SIAM I AM you can see its design in the picture.
We had our second T-shirt design for SIAM in Spring 2012.
