The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) will be continuing our Seminar Series this year over Zoom! We will have our first speaker on Thursday, October 1 at 5pm. Joe Callender will be giving a talk entitled “Math? What are you gonna do with that?”. Joe is the Executive Director of EY, a company based in Washington, D.C., that combines business, math, computer science, and data analytics to help businesses overcome and grow from challenges. He will go through his (winding) journey back to studying mathematics, give some examples of how he uses it in his current work doing survey research, and provide some advice on skills and avenues students can acquire and take to put their mathematical training to use in a business setting.
