A range of meanings for the word "model"

When scientists talk about developing models as part of their research, they can refer to quite different things.  Even within industrial and applied mathematics, modeling can have a variety of meanings. To avoid confusion and clearly communicate the relevance of mathematical modeling, it's important to understand what those different meanings are.
