The University of Manchester SIAM-IMA Student Chapter encourages the promotion of applied mathematics and computational science to students, especially, but not limited to, graduate students. The Chapter was set up in December 2009, and is run by a committee of PhD students at The University of Manchester, with help from our Faculty Advisors David Silvester and Marcus Webb.
After a period of inactivity, the student chapter is up and running again!
