Model building is the process of creating a simplified representation of a real-world system or phenomenon. This representation, or model, is used to understand, predict, or simulate the behavior of the system. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Simplification: Models abstract away unnecessary details to focus on essential aspects. Representation: Models use various forms (mathematical equations, … Read more
Mathematical modeling is the process of using mathematical concepts and language to represent real-world phenomena. It involves creating abstract representations of systems to understand their behavior and make predictions. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Abstraction: Simplifying complex systems into manageable mathematical representations. Formulation: Defining variables, relationships, and assumptions to create the model. Solution: Using mathematical … Read more
Computational physics is the study and application of numerical methods to solve problems in physics. It uses computers to simulate physical systems and processes that are too complex to solve analytically. Key Characteristics / Core Concepts Numerical methods: Algorithms and techniques for approximating solutions to mathematical problems. Computer simulations: Creating virtual representations of physical systems … Read more
