I love working with the community to spread my passion for all things STEM. I've worked with Let's Talk Science, Future Science Leaders and SHAD to help high school students learn more about math and science.
FSL students can learn more about Day 3 activities below.
SHAD students can investigate the code used for the simulations below.

Day 3: The Mathematics of Disease Modeling
Here is the Matlab code used to make the simulated SIR time series:
Intervention Simulation (Matlab required). This code does not include the interventions list or the formulas for calculating your new parameters. To make an intervention, input a new parameter value.
Learn more about this model (SIR) here. Learn more about other compartment models in epidemiology here.

Day 3: Python day!
Here are some extra activities to try out: (Copy-paste the text into your favorite python editor and save as .py files)
Averting Death and Destruction: The Mathematics of Disease Modeling
Here is the Matlab code used to make the simulated SIR time series:
Intervention Simulation (Matlab required). This code does not include the interventions list or the formulas for calculating your new parameters. To make an intervention, input a new parameter value.
