KYUSHU UNIVERSITYInstitute of Mathematics for Industry

[This event has successfully concluded]

We are pleased to announce that we held a tutorial on industrial mathematical statistics on December 14-15, 2023. Twenty-nine participants came from a variety of backgrounds, including industry, government, research, graduate and undergraduate students. The results of the post-tutorial questionnaire conveyed the practicality of the material, the clarity of the content, the potential for application, and the overall satisfaction of the participants, which are valuable indicators for future improvements. We look forward to continuing the tutorials in the coming year and beyond, with the goal of further improving the knowledge provided and the quality of the materials.

[Summary of the event]

Kyushu University places a high priority on addressing various social issues such as “decarbonization,” “medicine and health,” and “environment and food.” There is a rapidly growing need for research grounded in the academic foundations of mathematics, data science, and AI. The Industrial Mathematics and Statistics Research Division was established at the Institute of Mathematics for Industry (IMI) in April 2022, aiming to form a cross-disciplinary mathematical infrastructure with statistics at its core. The Division of Industrial Mathematics and Statistics aims to contribute to the solution of various problems in society, industry, and various fields, while deepening the academic principles of statistics, and fostering young core statistics researchers.
In particular, tutorials are held to train the next generation of engineers who can utilize data science and statistics to solve problems in industry and society.
