Intro to Mathematical Epidemiology - Part 3

Part 3: More basic reproductive ratio description and examples. Here, the basic reproductive ratio is explained further, particularly for this model. A worked example is given showing how to use a basic reproductive ratio. In the last portion of this lecture, some modifications of the basic model are discussed.

Perhaps it would it change it to a mutlivariable type problem, from ordinary differential equations to partial differential equations;where the other variable would be location. I'm just curious for some reason, I am not super familiar with mathematical epidemiology;however, it seems very interesting.

[AmadeusStatisitician]

How would your model change ,if assumption 3 changed in the following manner:the probability of getting infected was a function of location(which seems more realistic).Could it still be modeled with general differential equations?

@hpimbert And without sound, it was harder to interpret

Ditto, There is no sound for the 2nd half.

Great video. It really clarified a lot - Can you clarify the 2nd half? Numbers on the board were a bit hard to see.

No sound after 4:54 :(
