Computational Modeling of the COVID-19 Disease

The book is intended for readers who are interested in learning about the use of computer-based modelling of the COVID-19 disease. It provides a basic introduction to a five-ordinary differential equation (ODE) model by providing a complete statement of the model, including a detailed discussion of the ODEs, initial conditions and parameters, followed by a line-by-line explanation of a set of R routines (R is a quality, scientific programming system readily available from the Internet). The reader can access and execute these routines without having to first study numerical algorithms and computer coding (programming) and can perform numerical experimentation with the model on modest computers.Contents: Single Area ODE ModelDetailed Analysis of the ODE ModelVariants of the Basic ODE ModelPostulated Vaccine/Therapeutic Drug TreatmentODE Model with Delays
