Abstract:
In this chapter we provide some initial guidance to experimentalists on how they might go about creating mathematical representations of their systems under study. Because the interests and goals of different researchers can differ, we try to provide broad instruction on the creation and use of mathematical models. We provide a brief overview of some modeling that has been done with Proteus mirabilis colonies, and discuss the goals of modeling. We suggest ways that collaborative teams may communicate with one another more effectively, and how they can build more confidence in their model results.
