Corona Virus discussion

[Andy Nguyen]

one can see the sharp divide first hand: many ppl r really struggling financially currently; while some ppl like me are shopping corona car deals

Reminds me of a meme I see online "The whole pandemic stay-at-home order is just live slowly for the wealthy but die slowly for the poor."

I know most of the comments on this thread concern the potentially disruptive effects of current health crisis, but I thought I would go ahead and promote what I think is a great series of videos introducing the SIR model.

I am taking an MOOC for differential equations (Coursera) and was pleasantly surprised when I found these videos among the course materials. I don’t have the strongest background in differential equations yet was still able to take a good bit away from these videos so I thought I would share it for all the students that frequent this website.

With your knowledge of C++ you could solve them using odeint

Chapter 1. Boost.Numeric.Odeint - 1.72.0

(BTW most models are toys)

A good excuse to get my hands dirty and explore another Boost library.

Go for it and you can make the nice graphs using my ExcelDriver
