A mathematical model is an abstract description of a concrete system using mathematical concepts and language, and the process of developing one is termed mathematical modeling. The cited article says mathematical models are used in many fields, including applied mathematics, the natural sciences, the social sciences and engineering, that the field of operations research studies the use of mathematical modelling and related tools to solve problems in business or military operations, and that a model may help to characterize a system by studying the effects of different components, which may be used to make predictions about behavior or solve specific problems. Objects recorded in the atlas as mathematical models are grouped under this concept.
