🔥 See How Epidemics and Ecosystems Work: Interactive Math Models! 🔥

Ever wondered how diseases like COVID-19 spread or how wolves and deer populations balance in nature? Explore the SIR epidemic model and the Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model with interactive visualizations! Adjust the sliders to see how changing infection rates or predator growth affects the outcomes. Share this with friends to spread the science! 🚀

SIR Epidemic Model: How Diseases Spread

The SIR model tracks Susceptible, Infected, and Recovered people during an epidemic. Think of it like a wildfire spreading through a forest—tweak the infection rate (β) or recovery rate (γ) to see how fast the disease spreads or slows down!

Infection Rate (β):
Recovery Rate (γ):

Lotka-Volterra Model: Predator vs. Prey

This model shows how predator (e.g., wolves) and prey (e.g., deer) populations oscillate over time. Change the growth rates (α, δ) or interaction rates (β, γ) to see how nature finds balance—or chaos!

Prey Growth Rate (α):
Predator-Prey Interaction (β):
Predator Growth from Prey (δ):
Predator Death Rate (γ):
