What will I learn?
The Exact Sciences Course gives you a fast, practical path to building and using SIR epidemic models with confidence. You will derive the core equations, analyze equilibria, compute R0, and explore thresholds and peaks. Learn to estimate parameters from real data, run stable numerical simulations, quantify uncertainty, and turn model outputs into clear, actionable resource and policy metrics for 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.
