El Modelamiento Matemático Como Vía Idónea Para La Formación De Ingenieros. Una Reflexión Pedagógica

The work of engineering is to model particular situations in specific areas of their knowledge, the engineer define systems and variables, designs or use mathematical models that relate the variables as relevant, they study different alternatives to solve the models either analytically or numerically, predefine margins of error to compare these solutions with those obtained by specialized computer systems designed for this purpose, finally they compared the solutions with experimental results and reformulate their models to reduce their mistakes.
