SIAM at the University of Pretoria
Welcome to the Student Chapter of SIAM at the University of Pretoria.
Since its inception in 2014 as the first student chapter of SIAM in South Africa, SIAM@UP has been
instrumental in the creation of an incubation space for young mathematicians and engineers interested in applied and computational mathematics. From the landmark Undergraduate Seminar Series to the yearly Pi Day festivities, SIAM@UP not only connects graduate and undergraduate students alike, but also fosters learning and the exploration of the mathematical sciences. SIAM@UP intends to:
a) Raise awareness of the crucial importance of mathematical sciences in a South African
context.
b) Provide students with the opportunity to connect with one another to share ideas and
viewpoints.

academic society.
