For example, weather depends on many variables, including temperature, wind speed, air pressure, humidity, and so on. So to model (and forecast) the weather, scientists use many equations, each having many variables. Such systems of equations work together to describe the weather. Systems of equations with hundreds or even thousands of variables are also used extensively in the air travel and telecommunications industries to establish consistent airline schedules and to find efficient routing for telephone calls.
