Abstract
This article discusses some of the basic principles of mathematical
modeling in life sciences, and in particular the special features that
make the modeling task fundamentally different from the traditional
reductive modeling. The intricacies of the modeling in living systems
are elucidated by simple and tractable examples that underline the
problems of parametric models and the issue of non-scalability of the
models.
