Erasmus code / ISCED:	11.1 The subject classification code consists of three to five digits, where the first three represent the classification of the discipline according to the Discipline code list applicable to the Socrates/Erasmus program, the fourth (usually 0) - possible further specification of discipline information, the fifth - the degree of subject determined based on the year of study for which the subject is intended. / (0541) Mathematics The ISCED (International Standard Classification of Education) code has been designed by UNESCO.
Course title:	Industrial mathematics
Name in Polish:	Matematyka użytkowa
Organizational unit:	Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics, and Mechanics

ECTS credit allocation (and other scores):	6.00 Basic information on ECTS credits allocation principles: the annual hourly workload of the student’s work required to achieve the expected learning outcomes for a given stage is 1500-1800h, corresponding to 60 ECTS; the student’s weekly hourly workload is 45 h; 1 ECTS point corresponds to 25-30 hours of student work needed to achieve the assumed learning outcomes; weekly student workload necessary to achieve the assumed learning outcomes allows to obtain 1.5 ECTS; work required to pass the course, which has been assigned 3 ECTS, constitutes 10% of the semester student load. view allocation of credits
Language:	English
Type of course:	elective seminars
Short description:	We will work in small groups on several problems mimicking what may be encountered in the world outside academia. These problems usually are imprecisely posed and require interdisciplinary approach.
Full description:	Working in small groups, students will be assigned several problems which an applied mathematician may encounter working in the industry (in a broad sense) or research outside the university. These case studies will come from the real life (with some rough edges polished a bit in advance) and therefore require skills beyond pure maths. The contents changes year to year, check our webpage for more information.
Bibliography:	Finding good sources of knowledge and literature search would be part of students' task for each of project. To get some impression what industrial maths looks like, we recommend: A. Friedman, W. Littman, Industrial Mathematics - A Course in Solving Real-World Problems, SIAM 1994 Introduction to the Foundations of Applied Mathematics, Holmes, M. H. (Springer 2009)
Learning outcomes:	(in Polish) Potrafi wyszukiwać informacje (nie tylko matematyczne) na zadany temat i wykorzystać je do rozwiązania interdyscyplinarnego problemu. Potrafi dobrać odpowiednie narzędzia matematyczne i komputerowe do problemu z pogranicza matematyki i innej dziedziny. Potrafi podjąć współpracę w grupie lub przewodzić jej. Potrafi precyzyjnie, zrozumiale i w atrakcyjnej formie zaprezentować wyniki swojej pracy. Rozumie potrzebę aktywnej współpracy matematyków z przedstawicielami szeroko rozumianego przemysłu i ze specjalistami z innych dziedzin, aby sprostać wyzwaniom nowoczesnej gospodarki.
Assessment methods and assessment criteria:	Grading based on assigned projects and presentations. Both group work and indvidual contribution will be assessed.
