David Marshall Named Publisher of SIAM

The Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics (SIAM) is 
pleased to announce that David K. Marshall has been appointed 
Publisher. Mr. Marshall will assume the management of SIAM 
journal and book publishing programs beginning March 26, 2007.

"SIAM has a long history of providing the highest quality 
publications in mathematics and computational sciences to 
libraries, institutions and individuals" commented James Crowley, 
Executive Director of SIAM. "David possesses a wealth of 
experience in both book and journal publishing. He is well 
equipped to use this experience to keep SIAM's publishing program 
in the forefront of scholarly publishing."

Prior to joining SIAM, David held the position of Senior 
Publisher with Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, where he was 
responsible for managing a portfolio of neurology journals with 
annual revenues exceeding $18,000,000 annually. While there, he 
oversaw the launch of new features including the conversion of 
all back issues from print to online, and the doubling of 
frequency of Neurology, the flagship journal of the American 
Academy of Neurology. He was also instrumental in acquiring a 
society journal and initiating other acquisitions currently in 
process.

Before joining LWW, David served as General Manager, CME and Vice 
President, Content with MedCases, Inc., a provider of online 
case-based continuing education programs. While at MedCases, he 
cut the project development time in half and achieved cost 
savings through process improvements. Prior to those 
appointments, he was General Manager of Harcourt Health 
Communications. Revenue was doubled under his tenure.

"I'm excited with the opportunity I've been given at SIAM" David 
said. "I've been very impressed with my colleagues and look 
forward to working with them to build our program."

The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), 
headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, is an international community 
of over 11,000 individual members. These include applied and 
computational mathematicians, computer scientists, and other 
scientists and engineers. Members are researchers, educators, 
students and practitioners from 85 countries who are working in 
industry, government, laboratories, and in academia. The Society, 
which also includes over 500 academic and corporate institutional 
members, serves and advances the disciplines of applied 
mathematics and computational science by publishing a variety of 
books and prestigious peer-reviewed research journals, by 
conducting conferences, and by hosting activity groups in various 
areas of mathematics. SIAM promotes regional sections and student 
chapters that provide many opportunities for students. Further
