EASIAM stands for the East Asia Section of SIAM. It's like a special club or group for people in East Asia who love and work with applied mathematics. It's connected to a bigger group in the US called the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. EASIAM's main goal is to help grow and improve the study of applied mathematics in countries like Japan, China, Korea, and others in East Asia.
Applied mathematics uses math to solve real-world problems. For example, it helps design airplanes, predict weather, or create computer games.
What EASIAM Does
EASIAM does many things to help people learn and share about applied mathematics.
Publishing a Journal
EASIAM publishes a science magazine called the East Asian Journal on Applied Mathematics. This journal shares new ideas and research from experts. It is published by Global Science Press, which is based in Hong Kong.
Student Prizes
EASIAM also gives out special awards called "student paper prizes." These prizes encourage young students to do great work in applied mathematics.
Annual Conference
Every year, EASIAM holds a big meeting called the EASIAM conference. At this conference, scientists and students from different countries meet. They share their research and learn from each other. The conference takes place in a different city each year.
