Methodology of mathematical modellingProf. J.Engelbrecht4Some rules:LEONARDO DA VINCIMotion is an accident born from the inequality of weight or force. Force is the cause of motion, motion is the cause of force.Observe the phenomenon and list quantities having numerical magnitude that seems to influence it.
Set up linear relations among pairs of these quantities as are not obviously contradicted by experience.
Propose these rules of three trial by experiment.

ISAAC NEWTON PRINCIPIA, 1687
IEvery body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion straight ahead, unless it be compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.
IIThe change of motion is proportional to the motive force impressed, and it takes place along the right line in which that force is impressed.
IIITo an action there is always a contrary and equal reaction; or, the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal and directed to contrary parts

balance: amount at given time (t) = amount in the past (t - t) + amount which is created (at t) - amount which is destroyed (at t) + amount given by influx (at t)

Methodology of mathematical modellingProf. J.Engelbrecht15Some useful thoughts:One of the principal objects of theoretical research in any department of knowledge is to find the point of view from which the subject appears in the greatest simplicity.J.W.Gibbs, 1881
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.A.Einstein
The research worker, in his effort to express the fundamental laws of Nature in mathematical form, should strive mainly for mathematical beauty. It often happens that the requirements of simplicity and beauty are the same, but where they clash the latter must take precedence.P.Dirac 1939C NSE
