Abstract: WikiModel (opens in new tab) was created to enable teachers, students, scientists, and engineers to create custom mathematical models consisting of any number of closed form closed form and/or Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) with no programming. The cloud-based application requires no installation and is run via a web-browser to facilitate rapid implementation. Equations are typed in as they appear in a text book. ODEs are automatically integrated via Runge-Kutta methods. Once created, these models can be simulated with parameters whose values are user defined or fit to experimental data whereby optimal parameters are identified. The software implements non-linear or linear least squares methods as required. Desired state variables and datasets are selected from a drop down to be output in one or more plots. Once created, models and datasets can be shared to the public, a defined group of users, or remain private. The library of public models already contains pre-existing model examples in various scientific disciplines. WikiModel was built to rapidly simulate, and fit models in academia or industry. It is a tool that will hopefully motivate students and scientists to explore and benefit from the value mathematical models bring in solving real world problems without being bogged down in their implementation.
