Mathematical Model: formulation that expresses a physical phenomena or system in mathematical terms. 

Method:technic for doing something.

Numerical method: “techniques by which mathematical problems are formulated so that they can be solved with arithmetic operations.” Steven Chapra

Numerical solution: Approximation  to the result of a system.
  
Parameters: compounds of a model.

Significant digits: digit(s) that gives confidence to a number.

Total numerical error: is the summation of the truncation and round-off error.

Truncation error: “is the discrepancy introduced but the fact that numerical methods may employ approximations to represent exact mathematical operations and quantities” Steven Chapra

Vector: Vertical arrengement of numbers. It represents a serie of values.
