  1. Mathematical Modeling Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research. http://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=197. Retrieved 2/2/2013.

  2. What is a Model? • Fashion models are representations of the ‘ideal’ man or woman • Toys • Teddy bears • Architects’ scale buildings • Road maps • Depictions of ecological systems

  3. Models Represent a “real thing” Share important characteristics with the thing they represent Are simpler than the real thing Are constructed from mathematical tools such as formulae, equations, tables and graphs Are simplified and make assumptions about the situation we are modeling Can be used to make predictions Examples of projects using ecological mathematical modeling: http://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=1978
