The terms model and modeling are everyday terms. In science, however, different meanings are ascribed to them, especially when they are viewed from the two perspectives of mathematics and physics. In this chapter, we will examine whether and how these terms are defined in the two disciplines and what significance the use of models and modeling has in ...

When looking at relationships between two quantities, we are often interested in fitting a mathematical function to describe this relationship. Statisticians call these functions models. This activity uses data on levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at a site in Hawaii to illustrate fitting a model to data.
