Model Validation
Read this material on mathematical modeling. Try to complete the exercise at the end of the chapters. Don't worry if you have not yet learned the math necessary to complete the exercises. Rather, notice how many physical systems can be represented by mathematical models. We can then implement these models using programming languages like Python and R. We will discuss those later. Think about the types of systems you interact with, personally or in business situations. How might you use a mathematical model to help you understand this system?

Modelling cycle
In the video below you will learn about the process of mathematical modelling: the modelling cycle.
The modelling cycle in this course
In the next video, you will see what problem we will use to explain the mathematical techniques. And you will get an overview of the modelling project in this course.
