The use of mathematical models in industry is steadily growing. There is a continuous need in
industry for new and efficient mathematical techniques and university mathematicians get
inspiration from industrial demands. The European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry aims
to create contact between industry and academia and to promote research in industrial
mathematics. This book contains a broad spectrum of mathematics applied to industrial problems
presented at the 1996 ECMI conference in Lyngby Copenhagen Denmark. Applied mathematics case
studies and review papers in the following fields are included: Environmental modelling
Railway systems Industrial processes Electronics circuits and filters Ship industry
Oil industry Optimization in industry Dynamics of machinery Fluids in industry Applied
mathematicians and other professionals working in academia or industry will find the book to be
a useful and inspiring source of mathematical applications related to industrial problems. More
