Among the many science products of the planned Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be the discovery of large numbers of variable stars, including eclipsing binaries (EBs). These objects are of great use in determining fundamental physical properties of stars, testing stellar evolution models, and obtaining accurate distances. We have modeled the discovery rate of EBs with LSST, the distances out to which certain interesting EB types (e.g. those with M-dwarf components) can be detected, and the overall ability to determine the fundamental parameters of the detected EBs.
