“The main idea of the book is to understand how the model corresponds to real world data. The book starts with a general introduction of the disease. … in particular, on the SIR model is provided, including the elementary properties of the simple SIR model. The basic growth and spread pattern is studied, then the authors show how the parameters of the SIR model fit to the growth model and how changes in parameter values may affect the spread.” (Attila Dénes, zbMATH 1530.92002, 2024)
Exploring Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) Model for COVID-19 Investigation
von Rahul Saxena, Mahipal Jadeja und Vikrant BhatejaThe book focuses on mathematical modelling of COVID-19 pandemic using the Susceptible, Infectious, and Recovered (SIR) model. The predictive modelling of the disease, with the exact facts and figures, provides a ground to reason about growing trends and its future trajectory. The book emphasizes on how the pandemic actually spreads out, lockdown impact analysis, and future course of actions based on mathematical calculations. Moreover, since COVID-19 spread outburst has been twice, the intensity studies and comparative analysis of the two waves of COVID-19 are another interesting feature of the book content. The book is a knowledge base for various researchers and academicians to dive into the detailing of the COVID spread (mathematical) model and understand how it could be explored to draw outcomes. To represent the factual information and analytical results effectively, graphical and diagrammatic representations have been appended at appropriate places. To keep the explanation simple and yet concrete, mathematical concepts have also been introduced; to carry out analysis to generate results for understanding the viral dynamics.
