The aim of the course is to foster collaboration between mathematiciants and non-mathematiciants by solving problems from real world. The competences are: to promote communication with possible users of mathematical methods, to promote team work, to extend academic examples to a real world problems, to acquire some knowledge of mathematical software, summarazing, to educate Industrial Mathematicians to meet the growing demand for such experts.

Knowledge and understanding:
Knowledge how to communicate with users of mathematical methods, ability to rationally formulate problems, knowledge of mathematical modeling.
Application:
Solving real word problems. Cross breeding with users of mathematical methods.
Reflection:
Reflection of own understanding of mathematical knowledge by solving problems from a real world. Critical assesment of differences between theoretical and practical principles.
Transferable skills:
How to use knowledge bases, how to collect and interpret data, collaboration with experts from different areas, team work, how to present results, how to write reports.
