Mathematical models in the management of copper production: ideas, methods, examples

The current state of issues of modeling metallurgical processes is described, typical mathematical models used to describe the processes of copper production, and their classification. The system of methods and models in the field of mathematical modeling of technological processes is described, which includes balance, statistical, optimization models, forecasting models and intellectual models. For specific technological processes,: a balance model of a pyrometallurgical cycle of obtaining copper, a polynomial model of the prognosis of the composition of Stein based on a passive experiment, an intellectual model of a quantitative assessment of copper content in Stein based on fuzzy logic.
is of interest to students, graduate students, teachers of technical universities, engineering and scientific workers using mathematical methods in the processing of laboratory and production experiments
