What is a MathModel ?

It is a term created in VCell language:

Is somewhat equivalent to the math description of a BioModel Application – it is a direct specification of the equations to be solved, using the VCell modeling language. It can be compartmental or it can use a spatial Geometry. One or more Simulations must be defined for each MathModel to run and produce Results. Tip: Familiarize yourself with VCell by working with BioModels; you can always use the math from a BioModel Application as a valid starting point for a MathModel, but you cannot use math from Math- Models in BioModels. Use MathModels only if you are familiar with the VCell math language and if you encounter a specific limitation of BioModels that can be overcome by the use of MathModels.
