Purpose of Workshop 
                  The purpose of the workshop  is  to introduce the field of industrial  mathematics for upper level undergraduate and graduate students.  
                  To this end, the program is  designed to 
                  
                    - introduce a brief history of mathematics-in-industry
 
                    - present typical case studies on industrial       mathematics 
 
                    - perform group works on smaller set of problems
 
                    - highlight research topics.
 
                   
                  At the end of the program, the  participants will 
                  
                    - gain a view of what industrial mathematics is  all about
 
                    - learn about what   mathematical and other tools are needed to pursue research in the field
 
                    - have some ideas about the current research  topics in the field
