1. 2015-Just-Callender-Differential equation models of disease transmission

   08 Apr 2023 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s):

   By Winfried Just¹, Hanna Callendar¹

   NA

   The work give full analyses of standard epidemic model and then shows how to do it with differential equations and agent-based modeling. Then it compares the results.
