Analysis of an SEIR model with Non-Constant Population
by Kylar Byrd and Tess Tracy, with Dr. Sunil Giri and Dr. Swarup Ghosh.

Mathematical modeling can be useful in helping us to understand disease dynamics. Epidemiological models consist of differential equations with variables and parameters defined to portray these dynamics. We will be presenting the mathematics involved in formulating and analyzing a model for a disease such as influenza. We will first explain a simple SIR model, and then we will introduce our model. We will be looking at an SEIR model that incorporates the use of an exposed class as …
