Publisher's Synopsis
The use of new and efficient mathematical techniques for solving industrial problems is steadily growing. For the industry it is a source of innovation and a tool to improve efficiency, for academic mathematics it means challenging problems and an interface to career opportunities for the students. Here the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry aims to create contacts between industry and academia, and to promote research in industrial mathematics. The book examines recent practical and theoretical developments in mathematical techniques for industrial problems. Applied mathematicians and other professionals working in academia or industry will find the book to be a useful and inspiring source of mathematical applications related to industrial problems.
