Abstract

top
The English term ,,industrial mathematics'' has no widely accepted Polish counterpart. The British say that industrial mathematicians engage in activities similar to the ones taken up by applied mathematicians, only the research is done for money supplied by the ones who find the results useful in their job. A short, yet a little more formal definition says that the industrial mathematics is a human activity which employs precise mathematical description and reasoning in order to solve real-world problems for the benefit of companies or institutions. The emphasis is on clear definition of the problem and seeking solutions which are ,,as simple as possible, but not simpler''. As experience shows, the solutions obtained in such process are not only valuable for their practical applicability but also stimulate research and provide platform for cooperation for researchers with different backgrounds and experience. Key words: industrial mathematics, applications, mathematical modelling, Industrial Research Center, mentoring.
