Abstract

This paper is a general introduction to the field of biomathematical modeling. Biomathematical modeling is divided into three parts: the derivation of models, the fitting of models to data, and the simulation of data from models. This paper focuses on the simulation of data from models. The uses of simulation, the potential users of simulation, and simulation software are described.
