MA5710 Mathematical Modelling in Industry


Course Details

Methodology: Models, reality, properties of models, system characterization, steps in building in mathematical models, source of errors, dimensional analysis, model classification and illustration.
Case Studies related to R&D fields (one in each): Simulated Reality [Example: Traffic flow, Motion of Fibers, Behavior of Vehicles - Multi body systems, Behavior of Filters etc]; Optimization and Control [Example: Inverse problems and parameter identification, multi criteria optimization, Optimal shape design etc]; Multiscale models and algorithms [Example: Considering scenes of different scales nano, micro, mezzo and macro, Different algorithms on different scales and combining them]; Risks and decisions [Example: Portfolio optimization, Option pricing etc]; Data, text and Images [Example: Signal processing, Input-Output systems, Discover order in data sets, Image Denoising etc)
Modeling Lab [Thinking with Mathematical Models through Problems): Counting, Estimation, Structuring and Reasoning; Frame work through different mathematical (structural) equations and analysis; Optimization; Probabilities and Stochastic Processes.
