About this Unit
Mathematical Modelling concentrates on the solution of some mathematical problems that are suitable for interpretation in a deterministic manner. Selected real-world problems are approximated by mathematical models that are amenable to being written in terms of linear and non-linear equations and ordinary differential equations. In some instances analytic solutions are obtained, while in others computer programs provide numerical results. In either situation, there is emphasis on interpreting models, modifying them as required and using them for prediction.
