Scientific paper

Recent advances in stellar population modelling and avalanches of data from mega-surveys have revived the interest in techniques to extract information about galaxy evolution from integrated spectra. This contribution provides an informal and (hopefully) pedagogical, but inevitably biased and incomplete introduction to this field. Emphasis is given to the several choices one has to make in the process of modelling galaxy spectra.
