FOREWORD
The Industrial Mathematics Modeling Workshop for Graduate Students,
which is the fourth in the series, will take place at the Center for
Research in Scientific Computation at North Carolina State University
in Raleigh, North Carolina, 7-16 August 1995.  This workshop is being
held annually, the previous highly successful meetings was held at the
University of Minnesota in 1992 and at the Claremont Colleges in 1993
and 1994.  A description of the 1993 Claremont workshop can be found in
SIAM NEWS, November, 1993 issue.
In line with the previous workshops the goals of this workshop are:
      * to expose 30 graduate students in mathematics and
        statistics to the challenging and exciting real-world
        problems from industry and government laboratories;
      * to introduce students to the team approach to problem
        solving.
Funding for this workshop has been requested with the National Security
Agency and the Army Research Office.  Additional support is anticipated
from the Center for Research in Scientific Computation.

FORMAT
In the workshop the students will be divided into six teams to work
on "industrial mathematics" problems brought on by experienced applied
mathematicians.  These problems are challenging, real-world problems
from industry or applied science and require fresh, new insight for
their formulation and solution.  The problem presenters, primarily
from industry and government laboratories, are being recruited and
their names will be announced subsequently.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Graduate students in mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics or
operations research can be nominated for this program by a faculty
member by sending a letter of recommendation.  In addition, the
student is required to send in a copy of a recent transcript.  THE
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATION IS JUNE, 30.  Students will be expected to
finance their travel.  The workshop will cover local living expenses
for U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
