Events
Industry Talk by Eric Ray (SUN Microsystems)
Thursday March 19, 2009 at 5:00pm
Location: ECCR 155 (Engineering Center)
What do employers really look for when hiring? How important is your GPA? Eric Ray, from SUN Microsystems, will tell students how to be competitive in the job market, and how not to shoot themselves in the foot when preparing to search for a job/career.
2009 SIAM Student Conference
Saturday, March 14th, 2009
Location: University of Colorado at Denver
The SIAM student chapters of Colorado are hosting their fifth annual regional student conference on applied mathematics for all schools along the Front Range. This event will allow students from different universities in the area to see what is being done in this field and prmote interest in applied mathematics in general. This event is open to both undergraduates and graduate students. More information.
Actuarial Sciences Panel Discussion
5:30pm - 6:30pm Monday, November 3rd, 2008
Location: MATH 350 (Mathematics Building)
The Actuarial Sciences and Quantitative Finance Program will sponsor a panel discussion on internships for actuarial students. The panel will disucss duties and activities of interns at several insurance firms in Denver.
If you are interested in applying for an internship with any of these companies, please bring a resume to the presentation.
Talk on Web Analytics
5:30pm Thursday, October 9th, 2008
Location: ECOT 226 (APPM Conference Room)
Garrett Clark will be talking about the rapidly growing field of web analytics. This field studies user behavior to eventually change web pages and even sites to improve the user experience. Garrett will show and discuss a cookie accuracy study that was given to an Omniture Experts meeting (60 people) and which a shortened version was given at an executive staff meeting.
Come ready with questions about web analytics or any questions that you might have about internships or job opportunities!Welcome Back Dinner
5:30pm Thursday, September 11th, 2008
Location: ECCR 226
A welcome back party for all the undergrads in Applied Math. There will be Half-Fast subs, so bring an appetite! We will also discuss our future plans for SIAM (upcoming events, etc).
Mike Levy: "5 Years Later- Is There An End In Sight"
6pm Thursday, April 3rd, 2008
Location: ECCR 245
A talk given by Mike Levy, a CU-Boulder Applied Mathematics graduate student. Abstract: This talk is divided into two distinct parts. The first portion deals with generalities of the graduate school application process- how to choose which schools to apply to, a rough timeline of important deadlines, and a general overview of the life (of lack therof) of a new graduate student. The second portion focuses on the research aspect of graduate school- how to find an advisor/project, and what to do when things don't go according to plan. I will provide some examples from my research, which deals with numerical methods to solve some of the partial differential equations found in atomospheric modeling.
Mathematics and Biology in the 21st Century
6pm Thursday, March 13th, 2008
Location: RAMY N1B23
Talk given by Prof. David M. Bortz, Department of Applied Mathematics, CU-Boulder. It is a common refrain to hear how the 21st century will be "The Century of Biology." But, what does that mean for mathematicians who want to work on real biological problems and biologists who want to employ sophisticated mathematical tools to help understand a particular phenomena? And, perhaps more importantly, what does that mean for students who aspire to bridge the gap? In this talk, I will provide some answers to these questions using the story of how mathematics completely revolutionized the treatment of HIV/AIDS worldwide in the late 90's as well as discuss some of my own research into the mathematics of bacterial communities. In particular, I will focus on the disconnect between mathematical and biological strategies of investigation as illustrated in my collaboration with an emergency room physician. I will also discuss some open mathematical questions in these areas as well as the research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students.
2008 SIAM Student Conference

This event will allow students from different universities in the area to see what is being done in this field and promote interest in applied mathematics in general. This event is open to both undergraduates and graduate students. More information.
Monday, February 25th, 2008
Want to present your research at the 2008 SIAM Front Range Student Conference? All students (undergraduate and graduate) are invited to submit abstracts on any research topic in Applied Mathematics. All titles and abstracts should be submitted to FRAMSC.abstracts@gmail.com. Please submit your title and abstract as soon as possible, but no later than Monday, February 25. Both undergraduates and graduates can participate. More information.
Mathematical Contest in Modeling
6pm Thursday, February 14th, 2008 - 6pm Monday, February 18th, 2008
The Mathematical Contest in Modeling is a 4-day competition where a team selects one of two problems, models it, and submits a solution. This is a great opportunity to show off your mathematical, computational and communication skills. This is generally open to teams of three, and you don't have to be a Applied Mathematics major to participate. If you would like more information or want to participate, email Anne Dougherty.More information.
Practice Meeting: Mathematical Contest in Modeling
3:30pm Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Location: ECCR 226 (Applied Math Conference Room)
This is a meeting to prepare for the Mathematical Contest in Modeling (held February 14th-18th), by thinking about how to solve previously presented problems. If you are interested, please email Anne Dougherty.
SIAM "Movie" Night
5:30pm Thursday, January 24th, 2008
Location: ECCR 150
We will be watching an episode of Numb3rs, a mathematically-themed crime drama tonight, along with pizza and refreshments. We will also introduce SIAM, what we do, and talk about planned future activities.
Talk with Shaun Davies
12:00pm Tuesday, October 30th, 2007
Location: ECOT 831
Shaun Davies is an Applied Math alum who has been working as a financial analyst for Smith Breeden Associates (SBA) for the past couple of years. He will be visiting Boulder this week and will be giving an informal lunch-time presentation on
What the finance field is like
The skills that SBA look for in new hires.
If you are interested in hearing more, join us for lunch
SIAM Information
The CU Boulder undergraduate chapter of SIAM, one of the newest engineering societies at CU, was founded to promote interactions between Applied Math students and faculty. In addition to applied math undergaduates and some graduate students, SIAM has also attracted students from other engineering disciplines to its activities. Society functions include technical presentations by students, faculty, and industry speakers, field trips and student/faculty social events--- all designed to introduce undergraduates to the widespread use of applied mathematics in engineering and the sciences. All interested students, from any major, are encouraged to participate in SIAM-sponsored events.
Some of our activities include meetings, mentor lunches, and field trips. Meetings consist of guest speakers, student and industry panels, and other varying fields of interest. mentor lunches allow undergraduate students to meet a member of the faculty and upperclassmen. All SIAM functions are paid for by the organization, which is all the more reason to get involved!
For more information, stop by the Applied Math office (ECOT 225), or email our Faculty Advisor Anne Dougherty or one of the officers.
