(Date has been updated) IAS Conference - Industrial and Applied Mathematics

Overview

Modern manufacturing and service industries have changed drastically in modern times due to the explosion in the knowledge economy. Fast and inexpensive computing, office products, the development and utilization of large databases, have necessitated sophisticated methods to meet new demands. Industrial and applied mathematics is the enabling factor in realizing and implementing these methods. In recent years, the mathematical community has responded to this growing need for the mathematically proved solution in the industry. Organizations such as the Fields Institute, MITACS, and PIMS in Canada, SIAM and the NSF in the United States have been promoting the interaction of mathematics with industry and continuing to research on various mathematical problems arisen from economic development and technological advancement.

Industrial and applied mathematics is an inherently interdisciplinary field. In addition to mathematics, it includes subjects from fields outside mathematics such as business, computer science, and engineering. An industrial mathematician has strong…
