| Techniques to Compute the Basic Reproduction Number in Epidemic Models |
| Biomathematics Seminar |
| Time: 3:05 |
| Location: Zoom. Seminar link has info. |
In epidemic models, we would like to determine the behavior of an infectious disease (i.e., will we have an epidemic or not). It turns out that you just need to look at a number, called the Basic Repr... More |
