What kind?
-
-
For my type of (theoretical) modeling I’d also recommend some basic discrete math: set theory, probability, combinatorics, graph theory. Just intro level.
-
But these are of course more prerequisites than the actual modelling. Like you need to learn the alphabet at school just before reading words, you need to pick up some basic skills before you can jump in.
-
The next step is what kind of modelling, both in terms of domain (what sub-area of science) and in terms of the level of analysis. You'll have to do a literature review to see what specific models people are using to answer the questions you're interested in.
-
Yes, do you have a specific answer of interest that you could address through modeling? That may guide search for what tools you need as well as the motivation to master them.
-
It is how I try to approach programming (which, you may be surprised, I am not good at, because I had not needed to much for my type of modeling, which involves mostly conceptual and mathematical analysis).

That’s awesome.
