MCSC 7270G - Advanced Topics in Industrial Mathematics: Case Studies

Industrial mathematics is a branch of applied mathematics that is primarily concerned with the modelling and simulation of real world problems that have a commercial or societal interest. Driven by the problems under consideration, this field is highly interdisciplinary, drawing from physics, chemistry and biology with modern mathematical techniques used to bridge the gaps between them. In this course, the students will obtain important technical mathematics training and be exposed to a wide range of case studies problems in industrial mathematics covering a variety of techniques and applications. Whenever possible, the problem will originate from industry partners. Students work in groups on several problems throughout the term with a core faculty supervisor who is chosen appropriately for the problem. For each course project, students are required to complete a written report and an oral presentation. All case studies will be studied in teams.
