Mathematics in Industrial Problems: Part 4 (The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and its Applications) - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

This is the fourth volume in the series "Mathematics in Industrial Prob- lems." The motivation for these volumes is to foster interaction between Industry and Mathematics at the "grass roots"; that is, at the level of spe- cific problems. These problems come from Industry: they arise from models developed by the industrial scientists in ventures directed at the manufac- ture of new or improved products. At the same time, these problems have the potential for mathematical challenge and novelty. To identify such problems, I have visited industries and had discussions with their scientists. Some of the scientists have subsequently presented their problems in the IMA Seminar on Industrial Problems. The book is based on questions raised in the seminar and subsequent discussions. Each chapter is devoted to one of the talks and is self-contained. The chap- ters usually provide references to the mathematical literature and a list of open problems which are of interest to the industrial scientists. For some problems partial solution is indicated briefly. The last chapter of the book contains a short description of solutions to some of the problems raised in the third volume, as well as references to papers in which such solutions have been published.
