Abstract

In this paper an attempt is made to outline some of the problems facing the student who undertakes a course in mathematical modelling. A case study, considered by several cohorts of students, is used as a medium for introducing the various types of obstacles the students encounter. This approach also results in a demonstration of some of the errors that can be made in operating a modelling course and the paper concludes by offering suggestions on how to overcome certain difficulties that are exposed.
