The Mathematical Modelling Camp is one of two components of the annual PIMS Industrial Forum. The other component is the PIMS Industrial Problem Solving Workshop , to be held this year at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. At this Workshop, industrial and academic mathematicians work together to solve particular problems posed by industrial sponsors. Graduate students who are accepted to the Mathematical Modelling Camp are also invited to this Workshop.
Students work together in teams, under the supervision of invited mentors.
Each mentor will pose a problem arising from an industrial or engineering application and will guide his or her team of graduate students through a modeling phase to a resolution. At the end of the workshop, reports will be presented and a written summary of conclusions made available for distribution. All applicants accepted for the Graduate Industrial Mathematical Modelling Camp will be registered for the Industrial Problem Solving Workshop. The Pacific Institute for the Mathematical Sciences will provide the following support. Travel Travel for students travelling from Western Canada will be provided.
