The mathematical modeling what and why  

Reading these days about mathematical modeling i found a really interesting sort of things about it, but i asked myself, what is mathematical modeling?, and here is the answer.

Mathematical modeling is an art, because you can translate problems from an application area into tractable mathematical formulations whose theoretical and numerical analysis provides insight,answer, and guidance useful for the originating application.

Mathematical models can take many forms, including but not limited to dynamical systems, statistical models, differential equations, or game theoretic models.

But there is 1 new question, why is mathematical modeling inportant?, Mathematical modeling is indispensable in many applications, gives precision and direction for problem solution, enables a thorough understanding of the system modeled, prepares the way for better design or control of a system and allows the efficient use of modern computing capabilities. Mathematical modeling have a very importanting application in the petroleum industry and also in geosciences such as prediction of oil or ore deposits, map production and earth quake prediction inter alia.

So, now you can guess that without mathematical modelling the latest triumphs in the petroleum industry would be impossible.

And for saying good bye here is a link about another interesting subject, computer simulation.
