Equation-free modeling is a computational approach used in scientific research, particularly in complex systems, where the underlying equations governing the dynamics of the system are either unknown, too complex to solve analytically, or too costly to simulate directly. The focus of equation-free modeling is on the system's emergent behavior rather than on deriving explicit equations that dictate that behavior.
