DESCRIPTION:This workshop is aimed at PhD students. If you would like to a
 ttend please email cca@maths.cam.ac.uk.\n\nThis workshop will give you a s
 ense of the mathematical problems that are being met by mathematicians wor
 king in industry. It will also illustrate how\, in a non-academic setting\
 , mathematical research is communicated to stakeholders and customers.\n\n
 Presenters: Dr David Allwright\, Oxford University\, and Dr Robert Lees\, 
 Smith Institute.\nFacilitators: Other members of DAMTP to be confirmed.\n\
 nDay 1: You will be put into groups and presented with a small selection o
 f mathematical problems from industry to work on and try to solve. These p
 roblems have previously been worked upon by teams of industrial mathematic
 ians\, and their work will be presented to you to familiarise you with pot
 ential solutions and how successful those solutions were.\n\nSeveral talks
  will be given to explain each of the problems and to summarize the lines 
 of enquiry that the industrial mathematicians took to solve these problems
 \, along with the lines of enquiry that remain unexplored.\n\nDay 2: There
  will be no presentations on this day. Instead\, you should work in your g
 roups to consider what lines of attack are possible\, and to come up with 
 suggestions for further work that are aimed at addressing the business nee
 ds more fully or more successfully than the industrial mathematicians solu
 tions.\n\nAcademics from DAMTP will be available should you need assistanc
 e.\n\nDay 3: In your groups\, you should present your ideas for further wo
 rk in a way that explains (in a convincing way) what the possible industri
 al benefits of their suggested approach would be.\n\nYou should\, in your 
 groups\, develop a research proposal to solve a particular problem that yo
 u will need to present to the 'customer' in a compelling way.\n
