The 72nd European Study Group Mathematics with Industry (ESGI72
or SWI2010) will be held at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica,
Amsterdam, from January 25 to January 29, 2010.
This year's industrial problems include:
e-Anchors - design an optimization algorithm to keep a ship
at sea fixed in place, using GPS data and thrusters (MARIN)
DoItYourself Power Generation - how many solar panels can
you and your neighbors install before you cause a power outage?
(KEMA)
Chicken Flow - model the flow of poultry through a meat
processing unit (Stork Food Systems)
Algae Purification - optimize algae growth for the removal
of fertilizer from greenhouse run-off (Phytocare)
GPS in the Shopping Mall - compute the positions of a mobile
network, given absolute positions of a few (ESA)
If you enjoy applying your mathematical skills to problems from
the world outside academia, please visit the website for more
