Using Mathematical Models in Controlling the Spread of Malaria

Malaria is an infectious disease, transmitted between humans through mosquito bites, that kills about two million people a year. We derive and analyze a mathematical model to better understand the transmission and spread of this disease. Our main goal is to use this model to compare intervention str...
