Abstract
Applications and modeling and their learning and teaching in school and university have become a prominent topic in the last decades in view of the growing worldwide importance of the usage of mathematics in science, technology and everyday life. Given the worldwide impending shortage of youngsters who are interested in mathematics and science it is highly necessary to discuss possibilities to change mathematics education in school and tertiary education towards the inclusion of real world examples and the competencies to use mathematics to solve real world problems
