What is Mathematic Modelling

Computer-Based Mathematics Education and the Use of MatCos Software in Primary and Secondary Schools
Is the art of translating problems from an application area into tractable mathematical formulations whose theoretical and numerical analysis provides insight, answers, and guidance useful for the originating application.

Abstract
With the same methodology of the previous chapter, in this chapter there is an outline of vertical path about geometric topics typical of the secondary school. Of course, the algorithm and computational aspect in the MatCos 3.X environment are more developed with respect to classical arguments, surely of interest. In particular, the presentation of conics in both the Euclidean and Cartesian plan is emphasized, based on construction algorithms by points, which can be easily implemented in the MatCos 3.X programming environment. Even solid geometry, or in three dimensions, will be characterized by effective construction algorithms of the solid figures presented. Some of these algorithms are general in nature.
