SIAM - The Richard C. DiPrima Prize

Organization: Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics

The Richard C. DiPrima Prize, established in 1986, is awarded to a young scientist who has done outstanding research in applied mathematics (defined as those topics covered by SIAM journals) and who has completed his/her doctoral dissertation and completed all other requirements for his/her doctorate during the period running from three years prior to the award date to one year prior to the award date. Candidates for the prize must have completed their doctoral dissertations and all other requirements for their doctorates during the period running from three years prior to the award date to one year prior to the award date. The doctorate must have been awarded at least eight months prior to the award date. The requirements for the doctorate must have been equivalent to those for an American doctorate. It is preferable but not necessary that the recipient be a member of SIAM. Selection is based on the dissertations of the candidates. The dissertations must represent topics of applied mathematics (defined as those topics covered by the SIAM journals). They must be submitted in English. An English translation is acceptable. The prize is awarded every even year at the annual meeting of SIAM (normally in July).
