What will I learn?
The Exact Sciences Course provides a quick, hands-on way to construct and apply SIR epidemic models with assurance. You will work out the main equations, examine stable points, calculate R0, and investigate critical levels and maximum points. Gain knowledge on estimating parameters from actual data, conducting reliable numerical simulations, measuring uncertainty, and converting model results into straightforward, useful metrics for resources and policies to aid decision-makers.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Build SIR models: derive, scale, and interpret deterministic epidemic dynamics.
- Compute R0 and peaks: analyze 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.
