Abstract
The current status of mathematical models of biological systems is reviewed. Advances in supercomputer hardware allows more complex models to be constructed. The new generation of microcomputers are quite adequate for many computer simulations of biological systems. A theory of modeling is being developed to improve the relationship between the real biological system and the model. Deterministic models, stochastic models and applications of control theory and optimization methods are discussed. Examples given include models of molecular structure, of experimental techniques, and of biochemical reactions. It is recommended that experimental biologists consider the use of microcomputers to model the system under study as a part of their research program.
