Ben Sparks gives instructions to do some disease modelling on Geogebra – so you can see the maths behind the government advice to “flatten the curve”. Geogebra is available here. When you try and recreate the applet, don’t worry if the first three numbers appear as sliders, it will still work fine.
Also, see the message below from the Think Maths website we have enjoyed in the past:
“Matt Parker has launched Matt Parker’s Maths Puzzles! Once a week we can now look forward to a puzzle video from Matt on his Stand-Up Maths YouTube Channel.
Each week Matt will give us a puzzle and pose a question. Viewers can submit their solution to that question online to receive points and appear in a puzzle participants league table.
Matt will be awarding hilarious virtual prizes when participants reach particular point milestones.
The first puzzle video is here. Submit your answer here: www.think-maths.co.uk/table-puzzle
We aim for puzzle videos to be released on a Wednesday afternoon UK time, with the deadline for submissions the Tuesday of the following week at 11:59pm UK time.
Sign up to recieve an alert email when puzzle videos come out here: https://www.think-maths.co.uk/puzzles-sign-up
On Fridays we will post a solution video to the previous week’s puzzle and the updated league table on this page: www.think-maths.co.uk/maths-puzzles“
Take care everyone.
