Webinar on How Battle a Invasion Zombi? took place on Thursday, May 13th, 2021 from 2 pm until 3 pm, with Constanza Sanchez, Professor of Mathematics at the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina, as our invited speaker. This virtual event was free and open to the general public.
The invited speaker started the virtual event by presenting the following scenario: suppose that at the beginning, there are 1000 humans and 20 zombies. After one year, suppose that there are 900 humans left and 120 zombies. Constanza Sanchez then created mathematical models according to different scenarios, taking into consideration different variables, such as the capacity of the humans to defend themselves against the zombies and the effectiveness of the zombies to infect the humans. The speaker also explained how these mathematical models are used to predict the spread of infectious diseases.
