A Mathematics-in-Industry Study Group is a one-week meeting that begins with 8 industrial scientists describing, in about half an hour each, a problem that they currently need help with. The problems could be about flows of liquids or gases, noise and vibrations, queuing systems, the best way to use a computer simulator, what influences customers to buy different products, and many other different things that the company needs to understand. During the week, mathematicians work together in teams on these problems, discussing them further with the scientists from the companies, and setting the problems up in mathematical terms: this leads to what is called a mathematical model. These models are then analysed, and can be simulated on computers, to provide the kind of answers and understanding that the scientist from the company needs. At the end of the week, one or two people from each team present their results to the whole meeting, and describe what they have done, what they have found, the suggestions they have made and the ideas they have had, and the scientist from the company responds with his view of what has been achieved. After the meeting, each team writes up a full report on what was done and this is given to the company, and they can make plans for working together further. Mathematics-in-Industry Study Groups will be held in the UK at the Universities of Manchester (2005), Bath (2006), and Nottingham (2007).
