Simulation of the spread of a virus

Made for Singapore Mathematical Society Essay Competition 2021

• Our team of 3 had to write a report on “Mathematics and Pandemics” for the competition.
• We used this simulation to support our report on the mathematical formulas we developed. (Ok it was mostly my teammates who did the math-ing, all I did is implement their math.)
• It is a very simplistic simulation, where you can adjust values like: range of spread, probability of infection, time taken to recover, etc
• It got 1st Prize and was published on SMS’s Mathematical Medley in 2022 :D

Post-mortem

The original version explained nothing and was made solely to get the results we needed. Old version here

A couple of years after that, I got bored and updated it to v2.0 to make things clearer.
