Sumario:The writers describe the preliminary version of a software system that implements simulation, real-time animation, and calculations of dynamic statistical summaries for a number of prototypical stochastic models for different biological systems. Their objective in developing this software was to create a flexible teaching tool that can be used in probabilistic modeling courses aimed at undergraduate students in the biological and environmental sciences.
