The video tutorial introduces mathematical models as simplified representations using equations, functions, or formulas to describe phenomena or relationships between variables. It discusses problem-solving with models, particularly in the context of Ceneval exams, where students must associate variables and parameters with equations. An example problem is presented involving a carpenter designing a ramp for a bunk bed, which is solved using the Pythagorean theorem. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of correctly applying mathematical principles to find solutions.

What is a mathematical model?

• A physical model of a phenomenon.

• A theoretical concept without practical application.

• A simplified representation using equations, functions, or formulas.

• A complex representation of a phenomenon.
