This book contains select chapters of proceedings presented at the 6th International Conference on Frontiers in Industrial and Applied Mathematics (FIAM-2023), held at the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani-Dubai Campus, UAE, on 21–22 December 2023. It deals with mathematical theory and its applications to the various disciplines of engineering and sciences. The book illustrates the mathematical simulation of scientific problems and cutting-edge development in multiple branches of mathematics, including various computational and modeling techniques with case studies and concrete examples. The book is useful to graduate students, research scholars and professionals who are interested in the real applications of mathematics in the areas of computational and theoretical fluid dynamics, server queues, Lie group theory, fixed point theory, image processing, biomathematics, nonlinear dynamics and approximation theory.
