Mathematical Modeling - Case Studies From Industry

Klappentext Presents thirteen different case studies! ranging from cooking of cereal to the analysis of epidemic waves in animal populations. Zusammenfassung Presented as a series of case studies by some of the world's most active and successful industrial mathematicians! this volume shows clearly how the process of mathematical collaboration with industry can not only work successfully for the industrial partner! but also lead to interesting and important mathematics.
