Mathematical modelA mathematical model is an abstract description of a concrete system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling. Mathematical models are used in applied mathematics and in the natural sciences (such as physics, biology, earth science, chemistry) and engineering disciplines (such as computer science, electrical engineering), as well as in non-physical systems such as the social sciences (such as economics, psychology, sociology, political science).
Timeline of atomic and subatomic physicsA timeline of atomic and subatomic physics. In 6th century BCE, Acharya Kanada proposed that all matter must consist of indivisible particles and called them "anu".
