Brand New Publisher Description

This edited volume addresses the importance of mathematics for industry and society by presenting highlights from contract research at the Department of Applied Mathematics at SINTEF, the largest independent research organization in Scandinavia. Examples range from computer-aided geometric design, via general purpose computing on graphics cards, to reservoir simulation for enhanced oil recovery. The book also discusses local wind predictions to increase aviation safety, sustainable long-term forest treatment, and optimization of natural gas value chains. The contributions are written in a tutorial style to provide material for educational purposes, such as a course or seminar on industrially relevant mathematics.

Long Description ics at SINTEF, the largest independent research organisation in Scandinavia. from collaborating institutions. The research and development work within the department is focused on Part I Geometric Modelling Part II Numerical Simulation Part III Optimization Addressing Mathematics for Industry and Society, each contribution - and communicates the authors' own experiences in tackling these problems. The papers are written in a tutorial style, understandable for non-specialist researchers and students. The goal is to highlight the importance of ma- ematics for practical issues by providing material for educational purposes, such as a course or seminar on mathematical topics of industrial and societal relevance. To ensure the scienti'c quality of the contributions to this volume, each paper was carefully reviewed by several international experts. Special thanks go to all authors and referees, without whom making this book would not have been possible. Last but not least, the friendly and e'ective collabo- tion with Springer Verlag through Martin Peters and Ute McCrory is kindly appreciated.
