IIT SIAM Chapter Attends Annual Conference, Publishes Student Conference White Papers
Barrett Leslie, 3rd-year AMAT student at IIT, along with students from University of Oxford, Purdue University, Middle Eastern Technical University, and University of Illinois at 电车无码, took on a leadership role at a recent Society for Industry and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) Annual Conference in Minneapolis. At the student chapter鈥檚 meeting with SIAM leadership, these students decided to create 鈥渢he SIAM Student Conference White Papers,鈥 a document that describes best practices in organizing a student conference.
They took on this task because each of them had previously organized and hosted a successful local or regional SIAM student conference and wanted to share their experiences and ideas. In fact, Leslie and other IIT SIAM student officers organized the SIAM student chapter conference at IIT last year. The 鈥淲hite Papers鈥 provides a guide for student conference planning for those chapters who have not yet organized a meeting. The main message conveyed in the document is the importance of advanced preparation.
More information on the 鈥淲hite Papers鈥 can be found on the new , which was also created at the student chapter鈥檚 meeting at the SIAM Annual Conference as a way for SIAM student chapters to stay in touch throughout the year. More information on IIT鈥檚 SIAM student chapter can be found on .
