TransMath Innovative Solutions from Mathematical Technology [Paperback]

The book TransMath -?Innovative Solutions from Mathematical Technology has been conceived as a tool for the dissemination of scientific knowledge. This publication is addressed to those companies with innovation needs that could be met through mathematical technology.

The book maps both existing and possible interactions and connections that enable technology transfer between Spanish mathematical research and industrial and business sectors. Businesses can determine the level of implementation and demand for such technology within their sector and understand the benefits and innovations achieved in other companies and industries with the application of mathematical techniques.

The information is classified into eleven sectors of economic activity: Biomedicine & Health; Construction; Economics & Finance; Energy & Environment; Food; ICT; Logistics & Transport; Management & Tourism; Metal & Machinery; Public Administration; and Technical Services.

This volume presents mathematical technology to develop innovation. The text offers a road map of (existing and possible) interactions and connections for Spanish mathematical research, also applicable to industrial and business sectors.
