SIAM Chapter
The Rice SIAM chapter links applied mathematics students at Rice with the
professional world beyond. We strive to bring entertaining and informative speakers from
academia and industry to Rice. They provide a glimpse of what life is
like in their fields, as well as give students connections to potential employers.
