Mathematical Analysis Models and Siumlations

In this talk, we shall first present several examples of numerical simulations of complex industrial systems. All these simulations rely upon some mathematical models involving Partial Differential Equations and we shall briefly explain the nature, the history and the role of such equations. Then, some examples showing the importance of the mathematical analysis (i.e. “understanding”) of those models will be presented, and we shall conclude indicating a few trends and perspectives.
