Working with Mathematical Models

Graham Tarr

Chapter 7 in The Management Barrier, 1983, pp 94-107 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Although there are many types of mathematical model, and many happy hours can be spent in classifying them (designing a taxonomy of models), the key fact in problem-solving is that they fall into two classes: those that calculate definite answers with input figures that we select ourselves (we can call these enquiry models) and those that search for the best answer by finding the best set of values of the input figures (we can call these optimisation models).
