About this Taster Session

Imagine a world where a mysterious outbreak has occurred in Hull with an alarming number of people now having a taste for brains, biting and infecting others, turning them into zombies like themselves.

Hull's finest and brightest minds have been gathered to figure out a question on everyone's minds: If a cure can not be found in time, how long would it take for the zombies to overrun the entire Hull population?

In this session, we will employ mathematical modelling and simulation techniques to help answer this important question.

Who’s it for?

Students aged 16–18 in school or college curious about Mathematics, Data Science and Zombie Apocalypses!

Key topics covered

  • Mathematical Modelling
  • Disease Modelling
