Using Math to Model the Corona Virus Spread
Here's a good article from WIRED magazine on how to develop a model
for predicting the number of new cases over time. Of course there's some math involved but it's fairly easy to follow: https://www.wired.com/story/how-fast-does-a-virus-spread/?utm_source=nl&utm_brand=wired&utm_mailing=WIR_Tra nsportation_TopClickers_032320&utm_campaign=aud-dev&utm_medium=email&bxid=5cc9e2952ddf9c1a7adfa79b &cndid=54884204&esrc=&source=EDT_WIR_NEWSLETTER_0_ TRANSPORTATION_ZZ&utm_term=WIR_TopClickers_EXCLUDE _Transportation You'll also get a working script for doing your own calculations and graphs. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |

That always amazed me. Certain aspects of electrical and electronics engineering involve the use of differential calculus equations. So does the vacuum equipment industry I was involved in. I can do the calcs (carefully) when I understand what I am solving for .... like pumping calculations in a system that passes through viscous flow to non-viscous molecular flow. But to understand the math involved just for the sake of understanding it is my weakness. -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
