Description: The IMA, in collaboration with PIMS, is holding a 10-day workshop on Mathematical Modeling in Industry in Calgary, Canada. The workshop is designed to provide graduate students and qualified advanced undergraduates with firsthand experience in industrial research. Format: Students will work in teams of up to 6 under the guidance of a mentor from industry. The mentor will help guide the students in the modeling process, analysis and computational work associated with a real-world industrial problem. A progress report from each team will be scheduled during the period. In addition, each team will be expected to make an oral final presentation and submit a written report at the end of the 10-day period. How to Apply: Students interested in applying should consult the IMA project descriptions then apply using the IMA application template.
