The NRF's Contribution to the Global Covid-19 Challenge

2021

Prof Rao Appadu (Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics, Nelson Mandela University) and collaborating researchers (Dr Abey Kelil and PhD student, Mr Yusuf Tijani) are looking into using polynomial interpolation to predict COVID-19 propagation. In this work, the team makes use of four mathematical interpolation methods (three variations of Lagrangian interpolation, and Spline interpolation) to construct polynomials to capture the data for COVID-19 disease propagation. The team is looking at data on the total number of people infected and the number of active cases. This study looks at data from: Italy, Germany, South Korea, India, South Africa and Mauritius.
