Mathematics, Mathematical Modelling, EpidemiologyAbstract
In order to combat the spread of infectious diseases, scientists from a combination of fields have started to develop mathematical models to represent these diseases. With computer models and applied mathematics, one can predict and control various diseases. We present the evolution and implementation of different models used in mathematical modelling as well as a demonstration of the SIR model in MATLAB.
