What will I learn?
The Exact Sciences Course provides a swift, practical route to constructing and applying SIR epidemic models with assurance. You will derive the fundamental equations, examine equilibria, calculate R0, and investigate thresholds and peaks. Learn to estimate parameters from actual data, execute reliable numerical simulations, measure uncertainty, and convert model results into straightforward, usable resource and policy indicators for decision-makers.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build SIR models: derive, scale, and interpret deterministic epidemic dynamics.
- Compute R0 and peaks: analyse thresholds, sensitivity, and final epidemic size.
- Run fast simulations: implement stable ODE solvers and extract key time metrics.
- Quantify uncertainty: estimate parameters, bootstrap ranges, and test scenarios.
- Plan healthcare demand: link SIR outputs to beds, resources, and control strategies.
