Modeling Across the Curriculum

SIAM was awarded two National Science Foundation (NSF) grants to work on increasing mathematical modeling and computational applied mathematics in high school and college curricula, and to add a thread considering the implications and possibilities in the early grades. The grants were used to hold workshops, which grew out of discussions between SIAM and NSF Education and Human Resources representatives early in 2011, on the topics of undergraduate and K-12 courses and programs, college readiness, and career preparation. The following reports were the output of these workshops.
