Modeling the World

Upon reading the lecture note on the modeling lecture, the purpose of modeling is clearly stated. The purpose is to help sove problems and answer questions. The notes also mention the history of modeling and how it got its start back in the days of Aristotle. From there new techniques were formed to bring modeling to where it is today. Modeling is a useful tool that we will use for years to come.

Yes, modeling is quite useful for us-most of science is in fact the process of modeling. Did you like the way Prof.Rocha modeled the tree in class? Can you come up with a simple model for something else you have seen in real life? Trying to answer these questions will make the modeling process really interesting to you.
