Abstract

Spring 2020: Capstone Project

Juan Ndong Nguema, University of St. Thomas, Houston, TX 77006

Advisor: Dr. Arati Nanda Pati

The Ebola virus disease is a serious infectious disease with the highest mortality rate that is considered as one of the most contagious diseases. Our goal is to construct a mathematical model to devise the optimal Ebola outbreak simulation, and through a numerical simulation predict the behavior of the Ebola outbreak.
