(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Mathematical modelling is the use of mathematical language to describe the behaviour of a system, be it biological, economic, electrical, mechanical, thermodynamic, or one of many other examples.
Background
Often when an engineer analyses a system or is supposed to control a system, he uses a mathematical model. In analysis, the engineer can build a descriptive model of the system as a hypothesis of how the system could work, or try to estimate how an unforseeable event could affect the system. Similarly, in control of a system the engineer can try out different control approaches in simulations.
A mathematical model usually describes a system by means of variables.
The values of the variables can be practically anything; real or integer numbers, boolean values, strings etc.
The variables represent some properties of the system, for example, measured system outputs often in the from of signals, timing data, counters, event occurrence (yes/no), etc.
The actual model is the set of functions that describe the relations between the different variables.
A priori information
Mathematical modelling problems are often classified into white-box or black-box models, according to how much a prior information is available of the system. A black-box model is a system of which there is no a prior information available, and a white-box model is a system where all necessary information is available. Practically all systems are somewhere between the white-box and black-box models, so this concept only works as an intuitive guide for approach.
Usually it is preferable to use as much a priori information as possible to make the model more accurate. Therefore the white-box models are usually considered easier, because if you have used the information correctly, then the model will behave correctly. Often the a priori information comes in forms of knowing the type of functions relating different variables. For example, if we make a model of how a medicine works in a human system, we know that usually the amount of medicine in the blood is an exponentially decaying function. But we are still left with several unknown paramters; how rapidly does the medicine amount decay, and what is the initial amount of medicine in blood? This example is therefore not a completely white-box model. These parameters have to be estimated through some means before one can use the model.
In black-box models one tries to estimate both the functional form of relations between variables and the numerical parameters in those functions. Using a priori information we could end up, for example, with a set of functions that probably could describe the system adequately. If there is no a priori information we would try to use functions as general as possible to cover all different models. An often used approach for black-box models are neural networks which usually do not assume almost anything about the incoming data. The problem with using a large set of functions to describe a system is that estimating the parameters becomes increasingly difficult when the amount of parameters (and different types of functions) increases.
Complexity
Another basic issue is the complexity of a model. If we were, for example, modelling the flight of an airplane, we could embed each mechanical part of the airplane into our model and would thus acquire an almost white-box model of the system. However, the computational cost of adding such a huge amount of detail would effectively inhibit the usage of such a model. Additionally, the uncertainty would increase due to an overly complex system, because each separate part induces some amount of variance into the model. It is therefore usually apropiate to make some approximations to reduce the model to a sensible size. The engineer often can accept some approximations in order to get a more robust and simple model. For example Newton's classical mechanics is an approximated model of the real world. Still, Newton's model is quite sufficient for most ordinary-life situations, that is, as long as particle speeds are well below the speed of light, and we study macro-particles only.
Model evaluation
An important part of the modelling process is the evaluation of an acquired model. How do we know if a mathematical model describes the system well? This is not an easy question to answer. Usually the engineer has a set of measurements from the system which are used in creating the model. Then, if the model was built well, the model will adequately show the relations between system variables for the measurements at hand. The question then becomes: How do we know that the measurement data is a representative set of possible values? Does the model describe well the properties of the system between the measurement data (interpolation)? Does the model describe well events outside the measurement data (extrapolation)? A common approach is to split the measured data into two parts; training data and verification data. The training data is used to train the model, that is, to estimate the model parameters. The verification data is used to evaluate model performance. Assuming that the training data and verification data are not the same, we can assume that if the model describes the verification data well, then the model describes the real system well.
However, this still leaves the extrapolation question open. How well does this model describe events outside the measured data? Consider again Newtoninan classical mechanics -model. Newton made his measurements without advanced equipment, so he could not measure properties of particles travelling at speeds close to the speed of light. Likewise, he did not measure the movements of molecules and other small particles, but macro particles only. It is then not surprising that his model does not extrapolate well into these domains, even though his model is quite sufficient for ordinary life physics.
Note: The term 'model' is also given a formal meaning in model theory, a part of axiomatic set theory.

This article is about models in science and technology, for models in art, fashion and cosmetics, see model (person) or supermodelThe word model is used in various contexts meaning something (abstract or physical) that represents 'the real thing'. That entity may be anything from a single item or object (for example, a bolt) to a complete system of any size (for example, the Solar System). In general, a model is an object which we study, not for its intrinsic interest, but because it is a formalized or simplified representation of a class of phenomena which can be studied easily.
Modeling: the process of generating a model
Modeling refers to the process of generating a model as an abstract representation of some real world entity. Typically a model will contain only the significant features or aspects of the item in question, and two models of the same item may differ quite significantly. This may be due to differing requirements of the model's end user (one user may be interested in aspects of the item which are quite separate from those of another user) or, perhaps more simply, this may be due to the difference in perception of that item by the modeller and decisions made during the modelling process. This is why it is critically important for any end user to understand the original purpose or application for the model.
Models in science
Models have applications throughout science with variations according to the subject matter under discussion. Abstract models such as statistical models and mathematical models are used throughout the natural sciences including physics, chemistry, biology and economics. (See also: model theory, applied mathematics.) A model is often a simplified version (cognitive model), but it can also mean an especially good or useful example of a process, or for studying a process such as a model organism in developmental biology.
Physical models
A physical model of something large is usually smaller, and of something very small is larger. A physical model of something that can move, like a vehicle or machine, may be completely static, or have parts that can be moved manually, or be powered. A physical model may show inner parts that are normally not visible. The purpose of a physical model on a smaller scale may be to have a better overview, for testing purposes, as hobby or toy. The purpose of a physical model on a larger scale may be to see the structure of things that are normally too small to see properly or to see at all, for example a model of an insect or of a molecule.
A physical model of an animal shows how it is built without it walking or flying away, and without danger, and if the real animal is not available. A soft model of an animal is popular among children and some adults as cuddly toy. A model of a human may be a doll or a statue.

A model is somebody who acts as a human prop for purposes of art, photography, pornography, fashion, advertising etc. Modelling is distinguished from other types of public performance such as an acting, dancing or mime artistry, although the boundary is probably not well defined. Appearing in a movie or a play is generally not considered to be modelling, irrespective of the nature of the role, so many models can also describe themselves as actors. Some models have acquired the status of sex symbol, and a highly paid model is sometimes known as a "supermodel". Supermodels are celebrities who may appear in commercials endorsing products, and often parlay their fame into acting careers."Catwalk modelling" (also known as "runway modelling") is displaying fashion, "glamour modelling" usually includes elements of nudity or eroticism, while "nude modelling" describes any kind of modelling that is performed without clothes. Art school modelling involves posing for students of art.
For notable models, see supermodel and glamour photography.
Some who became better known for other things also worked as professional models:

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
In mathematics, model theory is the study of the representation of mathematical concepts in terms of set theory, or the study of the models which underlie mathematical systems. It assumes that there are some pre-existing mathematical objects out there, and asks questions regarding how or what can be proven given the objects, some operations or relations amongst the objects, and a set of axioms.
The independence of the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis from the other axioms of set theory (proven by Paul Cohen and Kurt Godel) are the two most famous results arising from model theory. It was proven that both the axiom of choice and its negation are consistent with the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms of set theory; the same result holds for the continuum hypothesis. These results are a part of Axiomatic Set Theory, a particular application of Model Theory.
In the case of the real numbers, one would start with a set of individuals, where each individual is a real number, and a set of relations and/or functions, such as {×,+,-,.,0,1}. If we ask a question such as "∃ x (x × x = 1 + 1)" in this language, then it's clear that the sentence is true for the reals - there is such a real number x; for the rationals, however, the sentence is false. Conversely, "∃ x (x × x = 0 - 1 - 1)" is false in the reals - to make it true we can add a constant symbol i and a new axiom "i × i = 0 - 1", which gives us the complex numbers.
Model theory is then concerned with what is provable within given mathematical systems, and how these systems relate to each other. It is particularly concerned with what happens when we try to extend some system by the addition of new axioms or new language constructs.
A model is formally defined in context of some language L, following Tarski's concept of truth. The model consists of two things:
A theory is defined as a set of sentences which is consistent; often it is also defined to be closed under logical consequence. Under this definition a theory is thus a maximally consistent set of sentences. For example, the set of all sentences true in some particular model (e.g. the reals) or class of models is a theory.
- A universe set U which contains all the objects of interest (the "domain of discourse"), and
- a mapping from L to U (called the evaluation mapping or interpretation function) which has as its domain all constant, predicate and function symbols in the language.
Completeness in model theory is defined as the property that every statement in a language or its opposite is provable from some theory. Complete theories are desirable since they describe fully some model.
The compactness theorem states that a set of sentences S is satisfiable, i.e., has a model, if every finite subset of S is satisfiable. In the context of proof theory the analogous statement is trivial, since every proof can have only a finite number of antecedents used in the proof; in the context of model theory however, this proof is somewhat more difficult. There are two well known proofs, one by Gödel (which goes via proofs) and Malcev (which is more direct).
Model theory is concerned with first order logic, and to first order logic all cardinals look the same. This is expressed in the Lowenheim-Skolem theorems - which state that any theory with an infinite model A has models of all infinite cardinalities (greater than that of the language) which agree with A on all sentences - they are "elementarily equivalent".
So in particular, set theory (whose language is countable) has a countable model - this is known as Skolem's Paradox, even though it's true! To see why it was thought paradoxical, consider that there are sentences in set theory which postulate the existence of uncountable sets - and these sentences are true in our countable model.
