2004 IMA Summer Program
Mathematical Modeling in Industry -
A Workshop for Graduate Students
August 9-18, 2004
Organizers:
Fernando Reitich and Fadil
Santosa
University of Minnesota
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 6 teams participating in the workshop. The following industry
scientists have agreed to participate as mentors. Additional information about
the projects will be provided shortly.
Workshop Outline
Day 1 (August 9): Posing of problems by the 6
industry mentors. Half-hour introductory talks in the morning followed by a
welcoming lunch. In the afternoon, the teams work with the mentors. The goal
at the end of the day is to get the students to start working on the projects.
Day 2-Day 9: Students work on the projects. Mentors
guide their groups through the modeling process, leading discussion sessions,
suggesting references, and assigning work.
Day 5 (August 13): Informal progress reports
by each group. This will be held in the morning.
Day 10 (August 18): Final presentations and submission
of written reports. Closing lunch and pizza party. All activities are expected
to end by 1:30 pm.

Application Procedure
Deadline for application has already passed.
Graduate students and advanced undergraduates are invited to apply. An application
form must be submitted to the IMA. In addition, two letters of recommendation
are required; one must be from the student's advisor, director of graduate studies,
or department chair. Prerequisites vary and depend on the project, but computational
skills are important.
The IMA will cover local living expenses but not travel
(IMA Participating Institution may use their PI funds for this purpose) .
Selection criteria will be based on background and statement of interest, as
well as geographic and institutional diversity. Women and minorities are especially
encouraged to apply. Applications must be completed by
April 1, 2004 for full consideration. Early submissions are encouraged.
Successful applicants will be notified by April 15, 2004.
Completed application forms and Letters of Recommendation should be addressed
to "Math Modeling Committee" and emailed to mm-applications@ima.umn.edu.
Text, pdf or postscript files are prefered.
