11th PIMS Graduate Industrial Mathematical Modelling Camp 12th Industrial Problem Solving Workshop Four students and one academic from collaborating Australian Universities were funded to attend the 2008 Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences (PIMS) Industrial Problem Solving Workshop (IPSW) and Graduate Industrial Mathematics Modelling Camp (GIMMC) held at the University of Regina, Canada. GIMMC, held in the week preceding IPSW provides preparation for IPSW and is designed to give graduate students in the Mathematical Sciences an opportunity to learn techniques of mathematical modelling under the supervision and guidance of experts in the field. These techniques are then applied at IPSW to solve problems presented by the industrial partners working in teams with leading specialists from the academic community. |
