Using Physical Simulations to Motivate the Use of Differential Equations in Models of Disease Spread
Elizabeth 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…

Silverberg, Benjamin; Sharon, Melinda J.; Makati, Devan; Mott, Mariah; Rose, William D. – Journal of American College Health, 2023
Background: Familiarity breeds complacency. One case of sore throat can start to sound like another. However, even common viral and bacterial infections can lead to serious sequelae. Clinicians cannot make a diagnosis if they do not consider it in their differential. Case: The presentation -- and subsequent hospitalization -- of a septic 19…

Cottone, Dina M.; McCabe, Paul C. – School Psychology, 2022
Human history is replete with pandemics caused by virulent diseases that have produced overwhelming suffering and death. Our future will require swift, sensible, and near-universal vaccine response as viruses evolve and thrive. When viruses like COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 emerge and mutate, vaccine researchers must be nimble and responsive to quickly…
