Exact Sciences Course
The Exact Sciences Course provides a quick, hands-on way to construct and apply SIR epidemic models confidently. You'll derive the key equations, examine equilibria, calculate R0, and investigate thresholds and peaks. Learn to estimate parameters from actual data, perform reliable numerical simulations, measure uncertainty, and convert model results into straightforward, practical resource and policy measures 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.
