In the OpenLearn unit on Developing modelling skills (MSXR209_3), the idea of revising a model was introduced. In this unit you will be taken through the whole modelling process in detail, from creating a first simple model, through evaluating it, to the subsequent revision of the model by changing one of the assumptions. The new aspect here is the emphasis on a revised model, which comes in Section 2. The problem that will be examined is one based on heat transfer.
This unit, the fourth in a series of five, builds on ideas developed and introduced in Modelling pollution in the Great Lakes (MXR209_1), Analysing skid marks (MSXR209_2) and Developing modelling skills (MSXR209_3).
This unit is an adapted extract from the Open University course Mathematical modelling (MSXR209)
