A Course on Mathematics in Industrial Problems

正在为对使用复杂数学来解决工业中出现的问题感兴趣的高级本科生开发一门课程和课本。本课程的目标是展示数学在当代工业问题中的用处，让学生建模并解决现实生活中的问题。数学基础将是常微分方程式和偏微分方程式理论。将特别注意工业问题中出现的开放式问题的表述。计算和分析方法在解决物理动机问题所必需的数学分析中都将是重要的。

A course and text are being developed for upper level undergraduates who are interested in the use of sophisticated mathematics to solve problems arising in industry. The goal of the course is to demonstrate the usefulness of mathematics in contemporary industrial problems, with students modeling and solving real-life problems. The mathematics foundation will be the theory of ordinary and partial differential equations. Particular attention will be given to the formulation of open ended questions arising in the industrial problems. Computational and analytical approaches will both be important in the mathematical analysis necessary to address physically motivated issues.
