By using mathematical models, scientists and engineers can simulate the behaviour
of a system under different conditions, test hypotheses, and make predictions about
future outcomes. This allows them to make informed decisions and design more
efficient and effective solutions.

Examples of Modelling
One of the most exciting aspects of applied mathematics is its ability to solve real-
world problems. Modelling and differential equations are essential tools for tackling
complex issues in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics.
For example, in physics, differential equations are used to describe the motion of
objects under different conditions. By solving these equations, scientists can predict
the behaviour of systems ranging from simple pendulums to complex celestial bodies.
In engineering, modelling is used to design structures such as bridges and buildings
that can withstand various stresses and loads. And in economics, differential
equations are used to model the behaviour of financial markets and predict future
trends.
