FIG Acronyms

People usually arrive at this page when they want to know what FIG really stands for. The answer is ``anything you want''. It's much better to ask ``Are you a FIG?'' FIG is defined by its vision, not the words that describe that vision.

This page is a collection of FIG acronyms that people have created, which we believe are both entertaining and accurate. If you want to contribute some, send e-mail to <fig-acronyms@fig.org>, along with a one-line explanation of the merits of each acronym (see the explanations on this page to get a sense of what we want).
