Abstract
It would not be possible to write down a list of all the skills which may be needed in developing mathematical models. They are many and varied: some of them may be described as intuitive, others come from long experience and practice, and some could be described as just plain common sense. In this chapter, we draw attention to some of the skills which are most commonly involved in modelling and which can be developed by practising with examples such as those presented here.
