Description:
The IMA, in collaboration with PIMS, is holding a 10-day workshop on
Mathematical Modeling in Industry in Calgary, Canada. The workshop is
designed to provide graduate students and qualified advanced
undergraduates with firsthand experience in industrial research.
Format:
Students will work in teams of up to 6 under the guidance of a mentor
from industry. The mentor will help guide the students in the modeling
process, analysis and computational work associated with a real-world
industrial problem. A progress report from each team will be scheduled
during the period. In addition, each team will be expected to make an
oral final presentation and submit a written report at the end of the
10-day period.
How to Apply:
Students interested in applying should consult the IMA project descriptions<http://www.ima.umn.edu/2011-2012/MM6.18-27.12/abstracts.html> then apply using the IMA application template.<http://www.ima.umn.edu/2011-2012/MM6.18-27.12/application.php>
