Mathematical modeling is the process of developing mathematical descriptions, or models, of real-world systems. These models can be linear or nonlinear, discrete or continuous, deterministic or ...

But mathematical modeling is something different and more complex: It’s the process of taking an open-ended, multifaceted situation, often from life or the workplace, and using math to solve it.

The math model comprises a series of equations that account for the complex inflammatory process leading from nephritis to fibrosis in damaged kidneys.
