MODELING

Modeling is building and using a model. What is a model then? It is a theoretical way to explain a phenomenon in a simpler fashion than the real thing. It is observing a problem or a phenomenon, identifying what parameters may influence it and sort them out so that only the most important ones are kept, and finally finding out how they are related, in order to explain what happens accurately enough to be able to predict what would happen under different conditions. As such, it can take many shapes. Here are some examples of models:

Mathematical equations Widely spread, it enables you to efficiently modelise about anything ! équation + graphe Ugh! No thank you...
Numerical simulations Sometimes easier to use, but there may not exist a program yet for what you want to modelise... image sybyl I'm not really good with computers. ^^"
Drawings and outlines A plain drawing is often enough to explain the processes behind a given mechanism without explaining what is happening at every levels, especially in biology ! schéma mitose OH ! I know this one !
