Introduction

Mathematical models are equations used to describe behaviours of variables, and if good enough, can be used to predict future behaviour or describe patterns. In this article, I will describe some of the most common and easy-to-fit models using mathematical equations we learned in high school. To fit the models I will use Python via Google Colab. All the code and datasets are also available on…
