Abstract
The role of a mathematical model is to explain a set of experiments, and to make predictions which can then be tested by further experiments. In setting up a mathematical model of a biological process, by a set of differential equations, it is very important to determine the numerical value of the parameters. For biological processes are typically valid only within a limited range of parameters.
