These notions will all be tied together, and made concrete in a worked example, where we show how a model typically is constructed. Lastly, we will try to draw conclusions about desirable properties of models, and discuss the dangers of modelling.

History, fact that without models there wouldn’t be much science left to consider. In order to fully appreciate this deep connection between science and the practice of modelling it will be useful to view models from a historical perspective. This chapter will give an account of the historical development o

As a starting point for this discussion we will specify what we actually mean by models, and discuss the different classes of models that exist. In order to broaden the concept and connect it to other concepts within science, we will relate modelling to phenomena and the

History, central term in modern science. Finally, we will look closer at an example from the history of Swedish science, namely the pioneering work of the engineer and scientist Christopher Polhem, and in particular his work on scale models.
