Modeling The World
I felt the "Modeling the World" lecture/notes were interesting, yet too in depth. I would think it is commmon knowledge what a model is. For instance...a model car...it is just that. Its a miniture car modeling the bigger version of it. Models are used to simply and act as something. I felt the lecture and notes were very in depth on the subject, but maybe it will be beneficial when we tackle later lessons and what not.

As you have guessed correctly towards the end of your post, modeling can be a very difficult process indeed-hence the depth in the class lecture. True, it is simple to understand the concept of modeling a car but to actually go about doing it is quite difficult. Also, the real concept of modeling requires that the model be able to predict the future events correctly. For example,it baffles us just to imagine that we can actually model the atmosphere now!
