Some Open Problems and New Tasks in Applied Mathematics

After the re-emancipation from pure mathematics in the latter part of the twentieth century, application-oriented mathematicians are now facing a wealth of new areas of activities and challenges for their research. This means that apart from individual open problems, two typical examples of which will be outlined here, applied mathematics is facing a lot of new tasks, from modelling practical s...

An Evaluation of Active Learning Strategies Applied to Engineering Mathematics

An engineering mathematics module has been developed and implemented to promote deeper learning using the CDIO methodology. It conforms to several CDIO Standards and also seeks to develop personal, interpersonal and professional skills through an active and interactive learning paradigm. This paper discusses the content, pedagogy and efficacy of the module in relation to student motivation, eng...

Software Engineering applied to Manufacturing Problems

Optimization approaches have traditionally been viewed as tools for solving manufacturing problems, the optimization approach is not suitable for many problems arising in modern manufacturing systems due to their complexity and involvement of qualitative factors. In this paper we use a tool of software engineering applied to manufacturing problems. We use the Heuristics Lab software to determin...

Applied Mathematics

Computation and continuation of traveling waves in phase field models: The computation of certain traveling waves has been shown to correspond to that of heteroclinic connections between equilibrium points of a dynamical system (see [10], [17]). The problem of computation and continuation of connecting orbits between equilibrium points and periodic orbits can be fully understood from [3],[4], a...
