Section 1: Introduction: Why Model?
In these lectures, I describe some of the reasons why a person would want to take a modeling course. These reasons fall into four broad categories:
-
To be an intelligent citizen of the world
-
To be a clearer thinker
-
To understand and use data
-
To better decide, strategize, and design
There are two readings for this section. These should be read either after the first video or at the completion of all of the videos.
