The final project for Dr Earn's Mathematical Biology course at McMaster Univresity.
By Nicole Dumont, Melody Fong, and Carolina Weishaar.
This model explores the spatial synchronization of epidemics. We use the metapopulation susceptible, infectious, and removed (SIR) model with sinusoidal seasonal forcing. Our aim is to determine which parameters lead to a synchronous state of the model so that diseases can be more easily eradicated.
