MATHEMATICS In INDUSTRY

This is a practical, hands-on course on all aspects of Computational Science: modeling, computation, writing proposals, reports, giving presentations.
The goal it to gain better understanding of industrial models and processes through mathematical ideas and computations.

The course will follow a case-study approach, illustrating the various aspects of Computational Science.   In each study, starting from a real-world industrial problem, we will model it, develop mathematical and numerical concepts and tools needed to analyse it, and deduce and compute useful answers (analysis and computation go hand-in-hand).
Problems to be studied include: Crystal Precipitation, Air Pollution, Melting and Freezing, Electron Beam Lithography, etc.
They involve fundamental phenomena (kinetics, advection, diffusion, reactions), modeled as systems of ordinary and partial differential equations.

The only prerequisites are Calculus (M141,142,241), ODEs (M231), and familiarity with a programming language (Matlab, Python, Julia, Fortran, C/C++).

Juniors, seniors, and graduate students welcome.
The course qualifies for UT's IGMCS program.
