SUMMARY:Professor Ronni Bowman: A Pathway Between Fundamental Mathematics and Decision Making in Government and Industry
UID:www.birmingham.ac.uk/213373
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Inaugural Lecture Series of the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences, join Professor Veronica Bowman OBE as she delivers her inaugural lecture.\n
Abstract
 Fundamental mathematics underpins the modern world. Not only is it embedded at the heart of AI and Technology but it is also a fundamental enabler for manufacturing, healthcare and government. This talk will cover the way that mathematics underpins decision making in government and industry, how we turn mathematics into useful insight for decision makers and where the current research and educational gaps lie. It will draw on specific examples such as meteorology, COVID 19 and Carbon Capture Technology to demonstrate how the same mathematics can be applicable to a huge range of potential applications as well as outlining where there are still major research challenges that could be addressed by the mathematical research ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø.\n
