The purpose of these lectures was to give a very broad overview of various aspects of modeling for a mixed audience, from students of mathematics, computer science, and physics to students of biology and social sciences. Considering the different levels of mathematical literacy among those who attended the lectures, we have relied only on the mathematical concepts known to high school graduates. Therefore, our book can be understood by a wide spectrum of readers - from ambitious high school students to graduate students of all specialities. We were trying to keep the mathematics at the high school level; however, some chapters may require an additional effort since they describe modern advances in computer modeling. Note de contenu : I.
