A method for operating a mass flowmeter that employs the Coriolis principle and through which flows a medium, wherein the mass flowmeter incorporates a measuring tube that can be stimulated to oscillate, the measuring tube is stimulated to oscillate at a minimum of two mutually different frequencies and/or in at least two mutually different natural oscillating modes, and the resulting oscillations of the measuring tube are recorded. The density of the medium flowing through the measuring tube is determined by evaluating the acquired oscillations of the measuring tube on the basis of a physical-mathematical model for the dynamics of the mass flowmeter. In this fashion, highly accurate measurements are obtained for determining the density of the medium flowing through the measuring tube.
