Martin Golubitsky, President of SIAM

Martin Golubitsky is well known for his work on dynamical systems with symmetry. He was chair of the SIAM Activity Group on Dynamical Systems (1999-2000) and just started his two-year term as SIAM President. Hinke Osinga talks with him about SIAM and his views of what SIAM can do for applied mathematics, and dynamical systems in particular.
