SIAM UC Riverside
SIAM Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

The SIAM (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics) Student Chapter is established in UCR. The purpose of this student chapter is to organize activities that foster the application of mathematics and computational science to engineering, industry, science, and society, and to promote research in applied and computational mathematics, and interdisciplinary studies in general.

To learn more about the SIAM student chapter, visit the website https://sites.google.com/ucr.edu/ucr-siam-student-chapter or contact the faculty advisors, Dr. Heyrim Cho and Dr. Jia Gou.

 


Microtutorials

UCR Microtutorial 2

The Microtutorials in Mathematics project team at UCR has conceived a new approach to producing a collection of micro-tutorials as supplementary instructional and learning materials. The intent is to assist the students and instructors to connect calculus with applications in various subject matters. The students could use them freely on any topics of their choice.  The videos are produced with follow-up questions to enable instructors to flip their classrooms if desired. For details, please visit its website: https://microtutorials.ucr.edu
