Abstract: Engineering, intended as the capability of producing innovation and new technology, pays an important tribute to mathematics. It is well known how the increasing computer power open the door to sophisticated models of physical and engineering systems. But there is much more in engineering for the use of mathematics. The word of new sensors, keeping information from the environment (airplanes, cars, industrial plants to the human body) for monitoring purposes to predict and prevent faults and dangerous scenarios through data signal processing, is one of the challenging opportunity. Special controls to realize new self-controlled devices or unmanned vehicles is another exciting example. Probabilistic models for optimizing the matching between technology performances and economics is another aspect of valuable importance.
The seminar aims to provide a glimpse on the use of advanced mathematics in the world of applications in industrial engineering, through concrete examples on running projects.
