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

Models 1.Represent a “real thing” 2.Share important characteristics with the thing they represent 3.Are simpler than the real thing 4.Are constructed from mathematical tools such as formulae, equations, tables and graphs 5.Are simplified and make assumptions about the situation we are modeling 6.Can be used to make predictions Examples of projects using ecological mathematical modeling:
