It would probably help if you gave us the question! Maths modelling could mean anything.

I have fond memories of Maths Modelling. One thing we had to do was design a set of equations for a knot.

...'not' very easy.

(Wow! What a pun! )

The problem with the knots was to work out the shortening of a rope if it was knotted once. The final answer (for a rope of any diameter) worked out to be [(13/4)πd-d]

That's Thirteen divided-by Four, by Pie times the Diameter, minus the Diameter.

That's interesting. I never thought to look up Knot theory on the world-wide-web. I can see how it can be useful now however.
