Libro German Success Stories in Industrial Mathematics De Bock, Hans Georg ; Küfer, Karl-Heinz ; Maass, Pet

This book should illustrate the impact of collaborations between mathematics and industry. It is both an initiative of and coordinated by the German Committee for Mathematical Modeling, Simulation and Optimization (KoMSO). This publication aims at comparing the state of the art at the intersection of mathematics and industry, as well as the demands for future development of science and technology in Germany and beyond.Each contribution addresses the importance of mathematics in innovation by means of introducing a successful cooperation with an industrial partner in order to display the wide range of industrial sectors where the use of mathematics is the crucial factor for success, but also show the variety of mathematical areas involved in these activities. The success stories introduced in this volume will be supplemented by appropriate illustrations.It is the goal of this publication to highlight cooperation between mathematics and industry as a two-way technology and knowledge transfer, providing industry with solutions and mathematics with new research topics and inspiring new methodologies.
