Using Physical Simulations to Motivate the Use of Differential Equations in Models of Disease Spread
Peer reviewed
Direct linkElizabeth G. Arnold; Elizabeth A. Burroughs; Owen Burroughs; Mary Alice Carlson – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The SIR model is a differential equations based model of the spread of an infectious disease that compartmentalises individuals in a population into one of three states: those who are susceptible to a disease (S), those who are infected and can transmit the disease to others (I), and those who have recovered from the disease and are now immune…
