April is Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month in the United States. Each year, the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics—a collaboration between SIAM, the American Mathematical Society, the American Statistical Association, and the Mathematical Association of America—holds a month-long celebration to enhance public understanding and appreciation of mathematics and statistics. Mathematical and statistical research drives technological innovation and leads to discoveries of broad societal importance across many scientific fields.
In honor of Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month, SIAM will be highlighting influential mathematicians and statisticians from our community, starting with Dr. Wil Schilders.
