Title: Mathematics: The Enabling Tool for Industrial Innovation

Abstract:
In Canada we have witnessed an explosion of industrial interest in
using advanced mathematical techniques for solving industrial
problems. The Mathematics of Information Technology and Complex
Systems (MITACS) network acts as a focal point for academic-industry
interaction. There have been a number of notable successes within the
network that have directly lead to industrial innovations. In this
talk I will choose projects from three MITACS themes: A project on
haplotyping from the Biomedical theme, on Facility Location Problems
from the Information Processing theme, and on Seismic Imaging from
the Environment theme. In each case I will explain the role of
mathematics and its impact on the partner organization.
