Mathematical modeling of biosystems

Abstract

Mathematics is an important tool for system modeling allows us to describe the behavior of a phenomenon or system in the real world, in particular biological systems. This chapter gives an overview of mathematical models, their construction, types of models, and examples of possible applications in biosystems models. Essential for building a model is determining its scope. In addition, the mechanistic and phenomenological mathematical models are described. Applications on fish biomass estimation, quality of fruits and crops are presented.
