Modeling & Simulation^[1]

A computer model is an abstract mathematic representations of a real-world event, system, behavior, or natural phenomenon. A computer model is designed to behave just like the real-life system. The more accurate the model, the closer it matches real-life. ^[2]

Thanks to https://www.igcseict.info for the content below. A model might be used:

To test a system without having to create the system for real (Building real-life systems can be expensive, and take a long time)
To predict what might happen to a system in the future (An accurate model allows us to go forward in virtual time to see what the system will be doing in the future)
To train people to use a system without putting them at risk (Learning to fly an airplane is very difficult and mistake will be made. In a real plane mistakes could be fatal!)
To investigate a system in great detail (A model of a system can be zoomed in/out or rotated. Time can be stopped, rewound, etc.)
