Linear prediction is a mathematical operation where future values of a discrete-time signal are estimated as a linear function of previous samples. In

testable predictions are usually considered not to be part of science (protoscience or nescience) until testable predictions can be made. Mathematical equations

Numerical weather prediction (NWP) uses mathematical models of the atmosphere and oceans to predict the weather based on current weather conditions. Though

mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling. Mathematical models are used in many fields, including applied mathematics, natural sciences, social

and to empirical predictions. Mathematical theories often have predictive power in describing nature. Wigner argues that mathematical concepts have applicability

model. Inaccurate predictions, rather than being caused by invalid mathematical concepts, imply the need to change the mathematical model used. For example

a set of known initial conditions, Newton's second law makes a mathematical prediction as to what path a given physical system will take over time. The

Predictions of apocalyptic events that will result in the extinction of humanity, a collapse of civilization, or the destruction of the planet have been

nature of mathematics and individual mathematical problems into the future is a widely debated topic; many past predictions about modern mathematics have been

BC (although its official designation is due to the first ever mathematical prediction of such astronomical phenomenon in the sky, not to its discovery)
