How is mathematics applied to real world problems?

Futurum

Mathematical modelling — the ability to translate observations (experimental or otherwise) using mathematical theories and laws of physics to represent important features from a real-world problem. This variable is independent of space and time, and, in many cases, denotes the physical units associated with the dynamical system.
