Topics in A2 Mathematical Modelling

1

1. What Mathematical Modelling Means

  • A mathematical model is a mathematical description of a real-life situation.
  • Mathematical modelling is the process of creating a mathematical model, solving it and using it to understand the real-life problem.
  • Modelling helps to estimate, predict, forecast, and simulate.

2. Stages in Mathematical Modelling

  • There are five steps in mathematical modelling: understanding the problem, mathematical description and formulation, solving the mathematical problem, interpreting the solution, and validating the mod
  • Step 1: Understand the real problem and make suitable assumptions.
  • Step 2: Translate the situation into mathematics using variables, equations, tables, graphs, or probabilities.

3. Example of Fish Population Estimation

  • In the fish population example, 20 fishes are marked and released first.
  • A second sample of 50 fishes is taken later, and 5 are found marked.
  • The fraction of marked fishes in the second sample is 5/50 = 1/10.

4. Rolling of a Pair of Dice

  • When two fair dice are rolled, there are 36 equally likely pairs.
  • The possible sums are 2 to 12.
  • The probability of each sum follows a fixed pattern.
