Mathematical Modelling · Problem Solving

Formulating Models

Translating real world constraints into mathematical equations and identifying key variables.

Key Questions

  1. 1What assumptions must we make to turn a messy real world problem into a solvable math model?
  2. 2How do we decide which mathematical function best fits a specific set of environmental data?
  3. 3Why is it important to define the domain and range of a model based on physical reality?
