Educational Studies in Mathematics, Vol. 63, No. 1 (Sep., 2006), pp. 89-112 (24 pages) Views of mathematical modeling in empirical, expository, and curricular references typically capture a ...

However, insight can come from a surprising place: mathematics. The idea is to create a mathematical model: a cartoon picture of the real world, drawn in the language of math.

My own work, for example, has involved developing mathematical models for use in industries such as sugar, mining and energy conservation.

This paper first describes a mathematical model of a vertical fracture with constant conductivity in three crossflow rectangular layers. Then, three forms of vertical fracture (linear, logarithmic, ...

Researchers have developed a mathematical model that describes the achievement of the 2015 Paris Agreement and that may contribute to more efficient negotiations when striving for unanimity.

For example, one of the eight Standards for Mathematical Practice —the overarching standards that describe the behaviors of “proficient” math learners—says that students should “model ...

A quantitative analyst’s basic work typically revolves around the development and construction of mathematical models designed to provide insight into complex financial systems.

The ACT math test consists of 60 multiple-choice questions that must be completed in 60 minutes. A portion of those questions involves modeling, which is the process of expressing real-life ...
