Jul 18, 2018 The 8.3.23 version of Berkeley Madonna is available as a free download on our website. The software lies within Education Tools, more precisely Science Tools. The most popular version among the software users is 8.3. This PC software was developed to work on Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 and is compatible with 32-bit systems. Berkeley Madonna Windows Berkeley Madonna uses various kinds of windows to represent your model including equation, flowchart, parameter, graph, datasets, and notes windows. The Equation Window You use the equation window to edit your model’s equations. The editor is a simple plain text editor similar to SimpleText Macintosh or Notepad.
Berkeley Madonna is a mathematical modelling software package, developed at the University of California at Berkeley by Robert Macey and George Oster. It numerically solves ordinary differential equations and difference equations, originally developed to execute STELLA programs.[1]
Berkeley Madonna is arguably the fastest differential equation solver, originally developed for modeling and visualization of chemical reactions.[2][3][4]
Its strength lies in a relatively simple syntax to define differential equations coupled with a simple yet powerful user interface. In particular, Berkeley Madonna provides the facility of putting parameters onto a slider that can in turn be moved by a user to change the value. Such visualizations enable quick assessments of whether or not a particular model class is suitable to describe the data to be analyzed and modeled, and, later, communicating models easily to other disciplines such as medical decision makers.
Uses[edit]
It has become a standard in the development and communication of pharmacometric models describing drug concentration and its effects in drug development,[5] modeling of physiological processes.[6] A user community exists in the form of a LinkedIn user group[7] with currently more than 500 members.
The use of system dynamics modeling has expanded into other areas such as system physics, epidemiology,[8] environmental health,[9] and population ecology.[10]
Versions[edit]
There are two versions of Berkeley Madonna: a free version with slightly limited functionality and a licensed version that is registered to individuals.

From Robert I. Macey & George F. Oster: Berkeley Madonna is designed to numerically solve systems of ordinary differential equations as fast as possible. By compiling textual equations into machine code, it achieves execution speeds approaching that of handwritten C or FORTRAN code. Models are quickly constructed thanks to Berkeley Madonna's easy-to-use equation editor. Or you can use the new flowchart editor to build models graphically. Either way, you'll spend less time building models and a lot less time running them.
