Modelling Considering the Influence of Technology

Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss the specifics about modelling with technology. First, some general points are mentioned for a better understanding of the role of technology in the modelling cycle. In the second part, we describe a detailed example for using technology for a modelling problem. Then, we exemplarily show some technical possibilities of software tools for teaching mathematical modelling to reflect the role of technology in the modelling cycle. In the fourth part, we consider the special problem of good examination tasks with modelling problems and use of technology. In all those examples, which are described and discussed in detail, the connection of modelling in terms of using technology becomes obvious.
