Modeling the Spread of Disease: The Logistic Model

In this activity, you will take data gathered from simulating the spread of an infectious disease, build mathematical models for the simulation, analyze the models, solve a differential equation, and make predictions based on that model. The design and activities of this lab are drawn from "The Logistic Model: Simulating the Spread of Disease", Connecting Mathematics with Science: Experiments for Calculus, Irina Lyublinskaya, Key Curriculum Press, 2003.
