In the June issue of SIAM News, Dhyey Mavani details a new open-source Python package that uses to analyze complex, cascading between companies linked by trade credit. This standardized and highly optimized software ecosystem makes the simulation and analysis of such discrete network flows accessible, visual, and computationally tractable at scale. https://www.siam.org/publications/siam-news/articles/the-dynamics-of-debt/

Join us at the 2026 SIAM Annual Meeting and co-located conferences, July 6-10 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Connect with a global mathematical sciences community through a week of networking, discussion, and sharing new research and ideas.

As highlighted by Dr. Michael Heroux, a research scientist and SIAM member for over 35 years, SIAM conferences offer valuable opportunities for collaboration and community building.

That’s a wrap on the 2026 Graduate Student Mathematical Modeling Camp!

After an inspiring week of collaboration and skill-building, participants now head to the Mathematical Problems in Industry (MPI) Workshop at Drexel University, beginning June 14.

We’re grateful to our GSMMC co-directors and mentors for their leadership, and to the National Science Foundation (NSF) (Grant No. 2445603) for supporting this program and student participation in the MPI Workshop.

On the SIAM News Blog, Conor Rowan explores the history of and —ranging from 16th century philosophy to modern day experimentation—and discusses how and may change the future of mathematical breakthroughs.

SIAM’s 2026 Graduate Student Mathematical Modeling Camp (GSMMC) is underway!

Participants convened this week at the University of Delaware for a four-day, hands-on experience tackling real-world modeling challenges and building career skills, led by co-directors Pak-Wing Fok and Eirini Kilikian.

We thank the National Science Foundation (NSF) (Grant No. 2445603) for supporting this summer program.
