Why are mathematical models useful?
|
quick and easy to produce
simplify a complex situation enable predictions to be made help improve understanding of the real world |
|
Drawbacks to mathematical models
|
simplification of the real problem
does not include all aspects of the problem may only work in certain situation |
|
Designing a mathematical model
|
1. observe a real world problem
2. devise the model 3. used to make predictions 4. experimental data is collected 5. compare predicted and observed outcomes 6. tests are used to assess how accurate the model is 7. model is refined |
