 NUMERICAL METHODS
(1)Numerical methods are techniques by which
mathematical problems are formulated so that
they can be solved with arithmetic operations.
They invariable involve large numbers of tedious
arithmetic calculations.

 MODELING
MATHEMATICAL MODEL
(1)A mathematical model can be broadly defined
as a formulation or equation that expresses the
essential features of a physical systems or process
in mathematical terms.

 MATHEMATICAL MODEL
(2)In
a very general sense it can be represented as a
functional relationship of the form:

Depended variable = f( independent variables,

parameters, forcing functions)

 MATHEMATICAL MODEL
(3)Characteristicstypical of mathematical models
of the physical world:
1. It describes a natural process o system in
mathematical term.
2. It represents an idealization and
simplification of reality.
3. Finally, it yields reproducible results and,
consequently, can be used for predictive
purposes.
