Abstract
Building a bridge between mathematicians and industry is both a challenging task and a valuable goal for the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA). The rationale for the existence of the IMA is to encourage interaction between mathematicians and scientists who use mathematics. Some of this interaction should evolve around industrial problems which mathematicians may be able to solve in “real time.” Both Industry and Mathematics benefit: Industry, by increase of mathematical knowledge and ideas brought to bear upon their concerns, and Mathematics, through the infusion of exciting new problems.
