Overview

The title of the book is a perfect way to synthesize the point of view of V- cenzo Capasso (VK) about the role played by mathematics in nature and all human activities, as mentioned by Willi J¨ ager in the Introduction. As VK mentioned in one of his speeches, “it is important that our scienti?c c- munity appreciates the importance of theory and mathematics to face the enormouschallengeswhicharisefromtheemerging?eldsofBiologyandMe- cine, Industry and Economics to improve the quality of Life. ” His enthusiasm and new ideas have brought him in this challenging mission. By transferring methods and tools from one ?eld to another, by learning novel mathem- ical methods and ideas from the observation of real world phenomena and behavior, and by approaching real industrial problems, he has accepted to play a fundamental role in both the Italian and European community in the establishment and reinforcement of communication channels between Ac- emia (methods) and Industry (applications), being himself a driving force of the scienti?c and technological progress that we are observing in our daily life. This books collects the proceedings of the workshop Math Everywhere: Deterministic and Stochastic Modelling in Biomedicine, Economics and - dustry which took place in Milano, Italy in the period September 4–6, 2005, and was organized in honor of the 60th birthday of Vincenzo Capasso (VK).
