Industrial Mathematics Modeling Workshop for Graduate Students

2001年NCSU研究生工业数学建模研讨会（IMMW 2001）旨在让数学，统计和工程专业的学生接触工业和政府实验室的问题，并向他们介绍解决问题的团队方法。 研讨会定于2001年7月23日至2001年7月31日举行，由Pierre Gremaud、Zhilin Li、Ralph Smith和Hien Tran组织。 讲习班有来自国家和国际机构的约36名研究生（共6个小组）参加。 来自工业或政府实验室的科学家将被邀请提出当前的研究问题，并通过模型制定和至少部分解决问题，带领5-6名学生组成的团队。 这丰富了传统的研究生经验，并为考虑学术生涯的学生和那些准备从事非学术职业的学生提供了宝贵的培训。 对于准备从事学术职业的学生，研讨会提供了经验，这将大大拓宽他们在课堂上的视野，并可能为以后的研究提供催化剂。 这种经历对追求非学术职业的学生来说意义更大，因为它使他们接触到重要的"真实的生活“问题，并使他们获得解决这些问题的初步经验。

The 2001 NCSU Industrial Mathematics Modeling Workshop for graduate students (IMMW2001) is designed to expose students in mathematics, statistics, and engineering to problems from industry and government laboratories, and introduce them to a team approach to problem solving. The workshop is scheduled for the time period July 23, 2001to July 31, 2001 and is organized by Pierre Gremaud, Zhilin Li, Ralph Smith, and Hien Tran. The workshop accommodates approximately 36 graduate students (for a total of 6 teams)from national and international institutions. Scientists from industry or government laboratories will be invited to present current research problems and lead teams of 5-6 students through model formulation and at least partial solution of the problems. This enriches the traditional graduate experience and provides valuable training for both students considering academic careers and those students preparing for nonacademic careers. For students preparing for an academic career, the workshop provides experience which will significantly broaden their perspective in the classroom and may provide a catalyst for later research. The experience is even more significant for students pursuing nonacademic careers since it provides them with an exposure to important ``real life'' problems and gives them some initial experience at addressing such problems.
