Why mathematical modeling?

Mathematical modeling is the art of translating problems from an application area into tractable mathematical formulations whose theoretical and numerical analysis provides insight, answers, and guidance useful for the originating application.

Mathematical Modeling

• Is indispensable in many applications
• Is successful in many further applications
• Gives precision and direction for problem solution
• Enables a thorough understanding of the system modeled
• Prepares the way for better design or control of a system
• Allows the efficient use of modern computing capabilities

LEARNING

Learning about mathematical modeling is an important step from a theoretical mathematical training to an application-oriented mathematical expertise, and makes the student fit for mastering the challenges of our modern technological culture.
