1
|
A real world problem is observed
|
|
|
2
|
A mathematical model is devised
|
|
|
3
|
The mathematical model is used to make predictions about the expected behaviour of the real world problem
|
|
|
4
|
Experimental data is collected from the real world
|
|
|
5
|
Compare predicted and observed outcomes
|
|
|
6
|
Statistical tests are used to assess how well the model describes the real world
|
|
|
7
|
The mathematical model is refined, if necessary, to improve the match of the predicted outcomes with the observed experimental data
|
|
|
Advantages
|
1. They are quick and easy to produce 2. They enable predictions to be made about the future 3. They can simplify a more complex situation |
|
|
Disadavantages
|
1. They only give a partial description of the real situation 2. They only work for a restricted range of values |
