👓 Flu Vaccines and the Math of Herd Immunity | Quanta Magazine

Read Flu Vaccines and the Math of Herd Immunity by Patrick Honner (Quanta Magazine)

Simple math shows how widespread vaccination can disrupt the exponential spread of disease and prevent epidemics.

This is a very clear and lucid article with some very basic math that shows the value of vaccines. I highly recommend it to everyone.

MATH X 451.46: Introduction to Combinatorial Analysis September 24, 2019 at 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm University of California, Los Angeles, Math Sciences Building, Room 5217, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA https://www.uclaextension.edu/sciences-math/math-statistics/course/introduction-combinatorial-analysis-math-x-45146 Combinatorics is the branch of mathematics that deals with problems of arrangements, partitions, and designs within a given finite or discrete system. It has applications in engineering, the physical and social sciences, operations research, and computer science. This course, the first of a two-quarter sequence, is an introductory yet rigorous survey of the theory…
