Modeling the World

Modeling the World was an exciting section of the lecture notes. I found the parts about how scientists model nature to be very interesting. It truly amazes me how people can think of ways to explain nature through equations and computer simulations such as biods and L-systems. The concept of Fibonacci sequences also intrigues me because of how it naturally occurs in the world.

Really, I find it very amazing too.I am taking this graduate music informatics class this semester in which the professor is teaching us how we can find mathematical patterns in musical compositions-essentially teaching us how to model music!
