A Survey Of Mathematical Models Of Dengue Fever, James P. Braselton, Iurii Bakach
A Survey Of Mathematical Models Of Dengue Fever, James P. Braselton, Iurii Bakach
Department of Mathematical Sciences Faculty Publications
In this paper, we compare and contrast five models of dengue fever, a serious illness that affects tropical and subtropical areas around the world. We evaluate each model using different scenarios and identify the strengths and weakness of each of the models. The goal of our analysis is to indicate the strengths and weaknesses of current mathematical models of dengue fever that should assist future researchers in forming models that accurately measure the variables they are studying that affect the spread and progression of the disease.

Parts Of The Whole: Moderating Competition In The World Of Ideas, Dorothy Wallace
Numeracy
In both biological and mathematical dynamical systems, competition may be moderated by the presence of a top predator of both competing species. Applying this principle in memetics sheds light on why some strategies are more likely than others to promote quantitative literacy in various kinds of institutions.
