Abstract: Today, the creation, simulation, and fitting of mathematical model equations, particularly those with Ordinary Differential Equations are done with different programming languages, each with their own syntax. This can be a stumbling block to young students who are just trying to learn mathematical modeling concepts but lack the programming knowledge, or have bugs in the code that prevent them from generating the correct simulated output. Furthermore, models that have discrete inputs at specific times must be explicitly programmed to start and stop at each of these time steps as ODE integration routines such as Runge-Kutta have an adaptive time step. Fitting the model parameters to experimental data adds an additional level of complexity with an iterative, non-linear least squares fitting routine programmed in a separate script outside the model definition.
