Mathematical Modeling in Industry XV
A Workshop for Graduate Students
August 3-12, 2011

Jointly organized with Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences.

  Organizers
Richard J. Braun Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Delaware
Gilad Lerman School of Mathematics, University of Minnesota
Fadil Santosa IMA, University of Minnesota

  Description

The IMA is holding a 10-day workshop on Mathematical Modeling in Industry. The workshop is designed to provide graduate students and qualified advanced undergraduates with first hand experience in industrial research.

Format

Students will work in teams of up to 6 students under the guidance of a mentor from industry. The mentor will help guide the students in the modeling process, analysis and computational work associated with a real-world industrial problem. A progress report from each team will be scheduled during the period. In addition, each team will be expected to make an oral final presentation and submit a written report at the end of the 10-day period.

Projects and Industry Mentors

There will be 5 teams participating in the workshop.
