Mathematical Modeling with ODE Section 2.3 in Boyce and DiPrima Wenhan Wang Department of Mathematics University of Washington 10-03-2012 10-05-2012 Wenhan Wang Department of Mathematics University of WashingtonFirst Order ODE 10-03-2012 10-05-2012 1 / 29 What are Mathematical Models A mathematical model is a description of a real world system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing mathematical model is called mathematical modeling. Mathematical models help to quantitatively explain systems and also make predictions about their behaviors. The mathematical models we are introducing here are deterministic, dynamic, continuous, and deductive.

Growth of population: growth rate is related to size of population. Decay of radioactive substances: decay rate is proportional to mass. ...

Often one principle gives a (differential) equation. Wenhan Wang Department of Mathematics University of WashingtonFirst Order ODE 10-03-2012 10-05-2012 4 / 2
