    2018-Meredith_Greer-Ella_Livesay-Mathematical Epidemiology Goes to College
    In this article we present models that were inspired by two real-life outbreaks at a small residential college campus: H1N1 influenza in 2009 and, surprisingly, mumps in 2016.

    2014-Allen-EtAl-Perturbations in Epidemiological Models -When zombies attack we can survive
    In this paper, we investigate the existence of stability-changing bifurcations in epidemiological models used to study the spread of zombiism through a human population.

    2011-Nakul-Chitnis-Introduction to Mathematical Epidemiology - Deterministic Compartmental Model
    Deterministic compartmental models form the simplest models in the mathematical study of infectious disease dynamics. They assume that a population is homogenous (all people are the same) and the only distinction is in their disease state.

    2012-Greer-Palin-Students in Differential Equations and Epidemiology Model a Campus Outbreak of pH1N1
    We describe a semester-long collaboration between a mathematics class and a biology class. Students worked together to understand and model the trajectory of the pandemic H1N1, pH1N1, outbreak across campus in fall 2009.

    2011-Mandal-EtAl-Mathematical models of malaria
    The first aim of this article is to develop, starting from the basic models, a hierarchical structure of a range of deterministic models of different levels of complexity. The second is to elaborate, using some of the representative mathematical...
