Abstract

Mathematical modelling is a powerful tool that bridges the gap between theoretical concepts and real-world phenomena. It involves the development of mathematical equations, algorithms, and computational techniques to describe, analyse, and predict complex systems across various disciplines. Researchers are creating mathematical models based on actual events to meet the demands of this scientific era. The main aim of mathematical modelling is to gain understanding into complex systems, make predictions, and optimize processes. By using mathematical equations, scientists and researchers can simulate and analyse various scenarios, explore the effects of different parameters, and make informed decisions. Mathematical models can provide a better understanding of the given mechanisms governing the system and help uncover relationships and patterns that may not be immediately apparent. Policymakers use mathematical models to inform their choices when deciding on public health interventions like lockdowns, social isolation tactics, and vaccination rollout plans.
