Modeling the Coronavirus Outbreak for Cross-Discipline Teaching
Molitoris, Joseph J.
Journal of College Science Teaching, v50 n2 p14-17 Nov-Dec 2020
The Coronavirus outbreak allows for a number of possible applications to classroom teaching (biology, computer science, Earth science, physics, statistics), as well as student research. A number of simple models reproduce fairly well the case numbers (total confirmed cases) of the Coronavirus pandemic in specific regions. These models may also be used to predict future cases and can be updated as data become available in a region (city, state, country).
