Do you know Maths can predict Human Behaviour? Here’s how

Seems like math can predict human behaviour in reference to the emergence and evolution of pathogens within host populations. According to a study from the University of Waterloo, mathematics can help public health workers understand and influence human behaviours that lead to the spread of infectious disease. By adding dynamic social interactions to the models already used for disease outbreaks and evolution, researchers could better anticipate how a virulent pathogen strain may emerge based on how humans attempt to control the spread of the disease. The social modelling could impact public health responses to emerging infectious diseases like Ebola and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.
