Mathematics has paved the way for understanding the abstract of different things,

as well as those that people think only occur naturally. Mathematics made understanding
and predicting the behavior of nature and phenomena possible. Various concepts have
been formulated for the assumption to a certain demeanor. This falls under the field of
mathematical modelling.

According to Adam J. (2006), mathematical modelling applies the use of

mathematics to uncover methods of systems existing in the real world. It is concluded
that the behavior of nature is not coincidental but rather follows a principle for this
occurrence. Natural events are observed and described using distinct mathematical
objects, mathematical terms, and mathematical methods (Unknown, n.d.). Formulas
and/or functions are generated for interpretation and prediction of its reoccurrences as
well. However, Adam J. (2006) also implied that there isn’t really a “right” model, acquiring
results that integrated with the recorded observations does not necessarily mean it is
already the correct and the only model that applies. Cooperation with scientists and
engineers is needed for the authenticity and altering of the model to manifest the science
more precisely. According to Chorin, A. and Wright M. (1995), modeling is done via
mathematical formulations utilizing computational calculations along with observations
giving the fundamental information for the model and verifying the precision of the model.
Margaliot (n.d.) stated that the fuzzy logic theory gives the most suitable tool for
converting verbal descriptions into mathematical models. It has the capacity to deal with
and control verbally-expressed data which are based only on observations rather than
equations. The model can be modified to assimilate new phenomena, and if it has a
different behavior than what is anticipated. The derived mathematical model can be used
to validate or invalidate the modeler’s abstraction with respect to how the natural systems
behave and why. Knickerbocker (n.d.) wrote that the basic mathematical concepts used
in modeling natural disasters include the scientific notation for representing large and
small numbers of magnitudes of energy and mass. Along with this are discussion and use
of measurement units to specify the dimensions. The recorded measurements with the
same units are then used for the comparison of magnitudes of similar events. While
derivation of these dimensions, usually a ratio of one of two of these is used to describe
other phenomena. Mathematical functions are used to portray relationships between
variables, in this case, attributes of certain natural events. They are used to answer
people’s addresses about these events, and conclude the results of events that are yet
possible to occur. Chorin and Wright (1995) added that modeling is used to predict
behavior, and so approve the theory or set a discussion regarding its moderateness and
recommend the need of honed experiments and more specific observations. Therefore,
observation and experiment, theory, and modeling collaborate and strengthen the
comprehension of scientific phenomena.

Mathematics leads us to a wider context of things. It provides immense

information, thus making it possible to exceed the limits of the human knowledge and
wonder. In addition, although the systems of nature is beyond human control,
mathematics aids in acquiring preparedness in handling certain events that are possible
to occur.
