Math Modeling
Mathematical modeling is a process that uses mathematics to represent, analyze,
make predictions or otherwise provide insight into real-world phenomena.
Most short definitions we find emphasize this most important aspect, namely the relation
between modeling and the world around us.
– Using the language of mathematics to quantify real-world phenomena and analyze
behaviors.
– Using math to explore and develop our understanding of real world problems.
– An iterative problem solving process in which mathematics is used to investigate and
develop deeper understanding.
It’s March Madness season!!! How might you use math to predict the winner? Try an easier challenge. If there are 4 teams = 3 games A-B and C-D and winner of AB and CD play to get a winner. Game one (2 choices) Game two (2 choices) and Game three (2 choices) 2*2*2=8 possibilities so 1/8 …
