ECMI is synonymous with European Mathematics for Industry and organizes successful biannual conferences. The 14th European Conference for Mathematics in Industry held in Leganes (Madrid) focused on Aerospace, Information and Communications, Materials, Energy and Environment, Imaging, Biology and Biotechnology, Life Sciences, Finances and other topics including Education in Industrial Mathematics and web learning. Attendees came from all over the world. Overall, these proceedings give a lively overview of the importance of mathematical modeling, analysis and numerical methods when addressing and solving problems from today s real world applications.

The accessible presentation of real problems from industry and finance, modeling, solutions via appropriate numerical and mathematical techniques are a source of fresh ideas and inspiration for mathematicians. Engineers and scientists in application fields may find useful ideas and techniques presented in familiar contexts that may help them to solve related problems in industry. Educators may find discussions of novel teaching experiences and examples from industrial contexts that could be useful devising curricula which include industrial mathematics and web learning."

Proceedings from the 14th European Conference for Mathematics in Industry held in Madrid present innovative numerical and mathematical techniques. Topics include the latest applications in aerospace, information and communications, materials, energy and environment, imaging, biology and biotechnology, life sciences, and finance. In addition, the conference also delved into education in industrial mathematics and web learning.

Nowadays we are facing numerous and important imaging problems: nondestructive testing of materials, monitoring of industrial processes, enhancement of oil production by efficient reservoir characterization, emerging developments in noninvasive imaging techniques for medical purposes - computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), X-ray and ultrasound tomography, etc. In the CIME Summer School on Imaging (Martina Franca, Italy 2002), leading experts in mathematical techniques and applications presented broad and useful introductions for non-experts and practitioners alike to many aspects of this exciting field. The volume contains part of the above lectures completed and updated by additional contributions on other related topics.
