Mathematical errors can be broadly categorized as human error, measurement error, and modeling error. Human error includes calculation mistakes, transcription errors, and misinterpreting the problem. Measurement error arises from limitations in instruments or data collection processes. Modeling error occurs when the mathematical model used doesn't accurately represent the real-world phenomenon.
