In this lecture, we introduce modeling broadly, including the different types of models (mental models, physical models, animal models, mathematical/analytical models, computational/numerical models, and simulation models) and how they are used. We focus on how modeling is as much about leaving the right things out as it is choosing the right things to keep in.
