Japan Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics facts for kids

The Japan Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (JSIAM) is a special group in Japan. It's a non-profit organization, which means it uses its money to help its goals, not to make a profit. JSIAM focuses on applied mathematics. This is a type of math that solves real-world problems.

JSIAM is like the Japanese version of a similar group in the United States. That group is called the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

What JSIAM Does

JSIAM does many things to help people who work with applied mathematics. They publish special magazines and books. They also hold meetings where experts can share their ideas. JSIAM also gives awards to mathematicians who are members of their group.

JSIAM's English Publications

JSIAM publishes several important works in English. These include:

• SIAM Online Magazine
• JJIAM (Japan Journal of Industrial and Applied Mathematics)
• JSIAM Letters

How JSIAM Gets Money

JSIAM gets its money in two main ways. First, members pay a fee to join. Second, big companies help support JSIAM. Some of these companies are Canon, Nissan, NEC, NTT, Hitachi, Fujitsu, and Ricoh.

JSIAM also helps a group called EASIAM. EASIAM stands for the East Asia Section of SIAM. This group works to improve the study of applied mathematics across East Asia. JSIAM supports EASIAM in many ways.

EASIAM publishes a journal called the East Asian Journal of Applied Mathematics. They also hold a big meeting called the EASIAM conference every year. These conferences bring together mathematicians from different countries.

Organizing a Big International Conference

JSIAM worked with the Mathematical Society of Japan to organize a very important event. This event was the International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM) in 2023. It was a big meeting for applied mathematicians from all over the world.
