A way of estimating what has happened or predicting what might happen in the real world. Models generally are made up of mathematical formulas that a computer analyzes rapidy. Models are used to estimate dose from radioactive releases that occurred in the past because it is rare to find actual measurements of doses to people offsite. Calculating radiation dose estimates for Hanford requires computer models because of the many factors that may have affected exposure and dose. These include the amount of iodine-131 Hanford released on a given day, the weather, and the wind speed and direction.

Kepler and Newton laws are models of the real world. These are very good models due to their predictive power. Mathematical biologists derive equations (create models) of population growth and spread of epidemics. Mathematical economist create models that describe some aspects of and help study real world economy. Modeling being so important, there is of course the Model Theory. It's a general theory of interpretations of axiomatic systems. A hyperbolic (non-euclidean) geometry can be modeled in a circle of the regular euclidean geometry. This implies independence of the Axiom of Parallels (the Fifth Postulate) from the rest of the euclidean axioms.

A climate model is a method of simulating the behaviour of the climate, to give us a picture of past climates, and to predict future climate change. The basic laws and other relationships necessary to model the climate are expressed as a series of mathematical equations. The climate however, is a very complex system, and climate models require supercomputers to calculate the complicated interactions between landforms, atmosphere and emotions.

1. An abstraction of reality. Models can include a combination of logical expressions, mathematical equations, and criteria that are applied or the purpose of simulating a process, predicting an outcome, or characterizing a phenomenon. The terms modeling and analysis are often used interchangably, although the former is more limited in space. 2. Data representaion of reality (e.g., spatial data models include the arc-node, georelational model, rasters or grids, and TINs).
