This book is about the results of a number of projects funded by the BMBF in the initiative Mathematics for Innovations in Industry and Services.

It shows that a broad spectrum of analytical and numerical mathematical methods and programming techniques are used to solve a lot of different specific industrial or services problems. The main focus is on the fact that the mathematics used is not usually standard mathematics or black box mathematics but is specifically developed for specific industrial or services problems. Mathematics is more than a tool box or an ancilarry science for other scientific disciplines or users.

Through this book the reader will gain insight into the details of mathematical modeling and numerical simulation for a lot of industrial applications.
