Mathematical Modeling Case Studies from Industry [Hardcover]

This volume presents thirteen different case studies, ranging from cooking of cereal to the analysis of epidemic waves in animal populations.Industrial Mathematics is growing enormously in popularity around the world. Presented as a series of case studies by some of the world's most active and successful industrial mathematicians, this volume shows clearly how the process of mathematical collaboration with industry can not only work successfully for the industrial partner, but also lead to interesting and important mathematics. Thirteen different problems are considered, ranging from cooking of cereal to the analysis of epidemic waves in animal populations. This book is suitable for all final year undergraduates, master's students, and Ph.D. students who are working on practical mathematical modeling.Industrial Mathematics is growing enormously in popularity around the world.

This book deals with real industrial problems from real industries. Presented as a series of case studies by some of the world's most active and successful industrial mathematicians, this volume shows clearly how the process of mathematical collaboration with industry can not only work successfully for the industrial partner, but also lead to interesting and important mathematics.
