The Italian Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (Società Italiana di Matematica Applicata e Industriale, or SIMAI) was founded in 1989.
The Society works to achieve an effective interaction between universities, research institutions and industries in various fields of applied mathematics, in an interdisciplinary approach to problems of specific industrial interest.
There is a wide range of applications, including not only technological science, but also economic and social sciences.
The Society and the Unionione Matematica Italiana are running the Italian digitization project bdim: Biblioteca Digitale Italiana di Matematica.
