When zombies attack: Mathematical model of the spread of zombie infection.
Smith is professor of mathematics faculty of medicine at the University of Ottawa. Worked studying mathematical models of different types of viral infections in different parts of the world, including malaria, Chagas disease and West Nile virus diseases transmitted from animals and insects travez. Being a fan of the zombie genre developed, as a personal tribute to the genre and as a model for studying infections that mathematics abnormal patterns of standard models do not provide, in collaboration with several scientists from the university a mathematical model to analyze predict and develop strategies against the type of zombie invasion that occurs more often in movies of the genre. THAT IS TO BE A GEEK AUTHENTIC PURE BLOOD ...
The article was published in Chapter 4 of the book "Modelling Infectious Disease Research Progress" and basically what it does is present this graphic:
where S is the susceptible, ie, the living alive. Z are the zombies, ie the living dead and R are removed, the dead are dead. Throughout the article explains the chart and its implications and practical effects in the event of a possible real epidemic. Then I leave the link to pdf file
The file is in English. The article has more math and graphics than I can translate, but if someone knows and is interested in translating the article and send it to me to publish it, of course I appreciate it.
