U Khin Maung Zaw (EC76) wrote: For number of years, I was the carrier-cum-postman to bring Saya Paing’s typed golf news to the WPD, Working Peoples’ Daily at Theingbyu Street! Just one of the chores I had in those days. I remember jokingly asked Sayadaw U Wara how he felt seeing the (18th??) hole over the fence from the Sunlun Kyaung’s “Thein”. The new golf course was built for VIPs inside KabaAye, and that particular hole was seen from the “Thein” less than 40-50 yards, of course over the fence.
A Physical Model is usually a scaled down version of a real-life entity.
In our younger days, some schools and universities had Aero-modeling clubs. Ko Eddie (Edward Teoh, M64) helped run the Aero-modeling club.
A Mathematical Model is a representation of an idea, concept, theory using Mathematics. It could be a simple equation (e.g. F = ma), a system of equations (linear, non-linear, differential, partial differential, …) or much more.
A Computational Model leverages the power of computers.
Many traditional subjects now have Computational aspect (or branch). Example : Computational Biology
