One of the most common scientific methods. A scientific model has to meet three criteria. 1. To map a certain feature of the modeled object; 2. to reduce the quantity of different object’s quality to a set of relevant descriptions; 3. a model must be assembled pragmatically considering concrete intent.

Scientific modelling is a scientific activity, the aim of which is to make a particular part or feature of the world easier to understand, define, quantify, visualize, or simulate by referencing it to existing and usually commonly accepted knowledge. It requires selecting and identifying relevant aspects of a situation in the real world and then using different types of models for different aims, such as conceptual models to better understand, operational models to operationalize, mathematical models to quantify, and graphical models to visualize the subject. Modelling is an essential and inseparable part of scientific activity, and many scientific disciplines have their own ideas about specific types of modelling (Mathematical Programming; Wikipedia, 2015 AU158: The in-text citation "Wikipedia, 2015" is not in the reference list.
