Mathematical Modeler Course

What will I learn?

Improve your mathematical skills with our Mathematical Modeller Course. This course is for people who want to learn about how to make models for diseases that spread in populations. You will learn about the SIR model, how to name variables, and how to use differential equations. You will also get skills in collecting data, making good assumptions, and simulating ways to stop diseases from spreading. You will learn how to choose the right programming language, run simulations, and write good reports for different kinds of people. This short, good-quality course will help you turn difficult data into things you can actually use.
