What is Mathematical model?
A '''mathematical model''' is a description of a [[system]] using [[mathematics|mathematical]] concepts and language. The process of building a mathematical model is termed '''mathematical modeling'''. Mathematical models are used in the [[natural sciences]] (such as [[physics]], [[biology]], [[earth science]], [[meteorology]]) and [[engineering]] disciplines (e.g. [[computer science]], [[artificial intelligence]]). They are also used in the [[social sciences]] (such as [[economics]], [[psychology]], [[sociology]] and [[political science]]). [[Physicist]]s, [[engineer]]s, [[statistician]]s, [[operations research]] analysts and [[economist]]s use mathematical models a lot.[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6550437&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D6550437][http://www.thinkmind.org/index.php?view=article&articleid=icn_2014_3_40_30195] Mathematical models can take many forms. The types of models include: *[[dynamical system]]s - for systems that change, *[[statistical model]]s - for finding patterns in large groups of measurements or data, *[[differential equation]]s - to study how variables change over time, or *[[Game theory|game theoretic models]] - for studying how many independent decision makers can interact. These and other types of models can overlap, with a given model involving a variety of abstract structures. Mathematical models can include [[logical model]]s. In many cases, the quality of a scientific field depends on how well the mathematical models built on theory agree with results of repeatable experiments.<ref>[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6923810&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D6923810 experiments]</ref> When theoretical mathematical models do not match experimental measurements, scientists try to correct the model. Such corrections lead the way to better theories to explain the facts. == More reading == ;Books * Bender, E.A. [ 1978 ] ( 2000 ). ''An Introduction to Math
