Industrial Mathematics for the Modern Economy
- [Tsinghua University, China]
- Overview
Industrial mathematics is a growing field that uses mathematical methods to solve problems in industry. It is an interdisciplinary field that includes disciplines such as business, computer science, and engineering. Industrial Mathematics is dedicated to developing the most efficient mathematical methods to solve problems in industrial settings.
Industrial mathematics is important because it helps solve real-world problems in science, engineering, medicine, and finance. It also enhances critical thinking skills and is the basis for problem solving.
Industrial mathematics is used in many areas, including:
- Robotics and Automation Systems
- Mechanical Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Research and development
- Finance
- Communication
Mathematical models are often used to design materials and improve their manufacturability. These models can predict material properties such as strength, stiffness or electrical conductivity.
- Industrial Mathematics for The Modern Economy
Industrial mathematics is of great importance to the world economy and spans many high-value industry fields. To maintain their status and economic efficiency, these industries must strive to be advanced, innovative and competitive. The same argument applies to more traditional sectors such as agriculture, utilities and manufacturing.
In all cases, there is clearly a need to define the problem in a sound mathematical way and solve it using appropriate, often innovative, mathematical techniques to produce optimal economic and social outcomes.
Industrial mathematics is currently dealing with the uncertain data-rich world that industry now faces. It does this by developing and applying tools that can take into account the uncertainties that can arise in many different situations and can lead to many statistical patterns.
At the same time, industry-driven problem-solving is relentlessly expanding, presenting ever-increasing challenges to the entire mathematics community.
- Industrial Mathematics and The Knowledge Economy
Due to the outbreak of the knowledge economy, the modern manufacturing and service industries have undergone tremendous changes in modern times.
Fast and cheap computing, office products, and the development and utilization of large databases all require sophisticated methods to meet new demands. Industrial mathematics is a contributing factor to the realization and implementation of these methods.
In recent years, the mathematical community has responded to the growing demand in industry for mathematically trained personnel.
- Industrial Mathematics and Applications
Over the past two decades, the economic and eco-industrial sectors have undergone tremendous changes due to the tremendous growth of the knowledge economy. Several challenges have arisen in the economic and ecological industries, requiring innovative approaches and solutions to meet new demands.
For example, looking for cheap and fast computing, cost reduction and quality improvement, logistics and complex transportation management, analyzing big data and finding the best solutions, etc. Industrial mathematics is a key factor in designing, implementing and implementing these methods.
