Question

What do you consider to be the advantages of the numerical values? What do you consider to be the advantages of the visual representations? Which do you prefer working with, and why?

Answer 1

For these models there are methods such as the perturbation method which can be used to find an approximate analytical solution within a certain range. The advantage here over a numerical solution is that you end up with an equation (instead of just a long list of numbers) which you can gain some insight from.
