About this book

Efficient transfer between science and society is crucial for their future development. The rapid progress of information technology and computer systems offers a large potential and new perspectives for solving complex problems. Mathematical modelling and simulation have become important tools not only in scientific investigations but also in analysing, planning and controlling technological and economic processes. Mathematics, imbedded in an interdisciplinary concept, has become a key technology.

The book covers the results of a variety of major projects in industrial mathematics following an initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. All projects are collaborations of industrial companies and university-based researchers, and range from automotive industry to computer technology and medical visualisation. In general, the projects presented in this volume prove that new mathematical ideas and methods can be decisive for the solution of industrial and economic problems.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“Information technology and computer systems have known fast progress, and this has lead to an urgent need of developing new mathematical techniques. From this originated the idea to start a number of joint projects between universities and industry … . This book contains a collection of 54 contributions, describing these projects up to the end of 2000. … interest to everyone, -mathematicians, engineers, computer scientists, scientists,- being concerned with real applications, problem mining, or mathematical, application-oriented basic research.” (Paula Bruggen, Bulletin of the Belgian Mathematical Society, 2007)
