MODEL: Model in Mathematics is a concept that represents a real life situation. This is developed to help in the understanding of the physical phenomena, such as: to make observations, collections of data and to carry out an experiment.

EXOGENOUS VARIABLE:  These are independent variable that affects a model without being affected by it, and whose qualitative characteristics and method of generation are not specified by the model builder. An exogenous variable is used for setting arbitrary external conditions and not in achieving a more realistic model behavior.
