Mathematical modeling is a method to abstract practical problems into mathematical models and predict and solve practical problems by solving the models. For college students, learning mathematical modeling can not only improve their mathematical literacy, but also exercise their logical thinking ability and ability to solve practical problems. Here are some suggestions for learning mathematical modeling:

1. Establish a mathematical foundation: Mathematical modeling needs a certain mathematical foundation, including advanced mathematics, linear algebra, probability theory and mathematical statistics. So college students should lay a good foundation before learning mathematical modeling.

2. Learning modeling methods: There are many methods of mathematical modeling, such as difference equation method, differential equation method and dynamic programming method. College students should understand the principles and applications of these methods and deepen their understanding through examples.

3. Participate in practical activities: Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. College students can exercise their modeling ability by participating in mathematical modeling competitions or doing some practical projects.

4. Reading related books and papers: Reading related books and papers can help college students understand the latest progress and development trend of mathematical modeling, and get inspiration and inspiration from it.

5. Cultivate teamwork spirit: Mathematical modeling often requires the cooperation of many people. College students should learn to cooperate with others and solve problems together.

In short, it takes time and patience to learn mathematical modeling, but as long as you persist, you will definitely make progress.
