This book offers an insider's view of how industrial problems are translated into mathematics
and how solving the mathematics leads to convincing industrial solutions as well. In 6
technical chapters a wide range of industrial problems is modeled simulated and optimized 4
others describe the modeling computing optimization and data analysis concepts shaping the
work of the Fraunhofer ITWM. Each technical chapter illustrates how the relevant mathematics
has been adapted or extended for the specific application and details the underlying practical
problem and resulting software. The final chapter shows how the use of mathematical modeling in
the classroom can change the image of this subject making it exciting and fun.
