About MPI

MPI is a problem solving workshop that attracts leading applied mathematicians and scientists from universities, industry, and national laboratories. During the workshop, engineers and scientists from industry interact with the academic participants on problems of interest to their companies. In the past, these problems have included, but are not limited to

• engineering and product design
• process design and control
• environmental remediation
• scheduling and optimization
• financial modeling

The challenge facing business and industry is to prosper in an era of rapid technological growth. Meeting the challenge requires continually improving productivity, resource management, and innovation, both to refine existing products and processes, and to create new ones.

The MPI workshop is a resource that offers (see testimonials )

• clarification and formulation of a proposed or existing process
• methods to solve problems of interest to industry
• links with applied mathematicians and scientists from universities and national laboratories
• access to advanced computing solutions and environments
• cost-effective consulting
• fresh input of new ideas

This workshop is supported in part by the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) through its Participating Institution (PI) Program. PI members may use IMA/PI funds to support travel of their personnel to this conference.
