Teaching

I recently got the opportunity to teach a few students when my advisor asked me to fill in for her. I thoroughly enjoyed the process.
This page will be a placeholder for all teaching related materials.

1) My class presentation for Nov 2nd 2010 on the generality of the SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) model

2) Instructions and more material:
      Download the Berkeley Madonna solver.
After downloading it, you can run everything in "Demo Mode". After installing Berkeley Madonna, simply clicking on the .mmd files (file1, file2)
will open up the graphical user interface. Simply click on "Run" and go to the window (from Window in the menu bar) to see the output. The
sliders with parameters are already set up.

If you want to include more parameters in them, simply click on the slider and it will bring up another window where you can add new parameters.
The knockout mice TCL.mmd file uses the virus data from the file igm_diamond_mice_knockout. If you want to see the solver fit the model to data,
go to Parameters -> Curve Fit. Click the "Import Dataset" button and select the virus data file. You can try changing the initial guesses of all the
parameters and then click on OK and the solver will get into action and do the fitting! The code for the differential equations is very self explanatory.
You just need to give the equations and the initial values of the populations.

Lastly, there is the paper on spreading of ideas which also uses a SIR model.
