Description:
Mathematical problems arising in industrial applications typically involve complicated, interdisciplinary issues of formulation,
analysis and solution. Many women in mathematical sciences today are contributing to this important work in industrial
applications, but more women should be informed of the opportunities provided by real world problems for high quality
research, contributions to practical solutions and rewarding careers. This weekend workshop is intended to increase and
enhance the awareness of women mathematicians about industrial applications.
The diverse nature of industrial applications will be conveyed through technical talks by selected participants, chosen based on their successful experiences with real world problems.A panel of women established in successful industrial careers will give their viewpoints to encourage women to become involved with industrial problems. Focused small group discussions will be included to exchange ideas on strategies to enhance the participation of women in industrial applications.
Provided sufficient funding is confirmed, this workshop will include approximately 60 invited participants: 20 mathematical scientists and managers whose work involves solving industrial problems,and 40 graduate students in applied mathematics and related fields.
