Abstract

This chapter introduces the reader to the basic concepts of mathematical modeling. It discusses such important concepts as a model, physical, abstract modeling, and simulation and gives an idea of the classification and basic properties of mathematical models. The computer simulation process is divided into stages and a brief description of each stage is given. The reader gets acquainted with the concepts of open and isolated models, single component and multicomponent models. Particular attention is paid to identifying differences between continuous, discrete, and hybrid models. A general idea of the component-oriented approach in modeling is given with a number of useful examples.
