Within a series of scientific meetings organized by the College of Applied Sciences, and under the supervision of Dr. Waleed Jamil Altaf, the Dean of the College,

the seventh scientific meeting was held at the level of the college and related to the Department of Mathematical Sciences on Wednesday, Rabi’ II 9,1439H. 

The event was attended by a number of the affiliates of the Department of Mathematical Sciences and those interested in this scientific meeting. 

Entitled:

“The Dynamic of the spread of Infectious Disease and How to Contain them: Building Models and Explaining Results”

It was given by Dr.

Montaser Sa’afan

The Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematical Sciences

The meeting included a presentation for the infectious diseases in the human being and their types. Also, how to build a mathematical model to describe the dynamic of the spread of those diseases, such as Swine Influenza, and how to estimate the number of its main reproduction. It also presented the different strategies used to contain the infectious diseases, such as vaccination, isolation, quarantine, ... Etc. A presentation was displayed for building a mathematical model for the Ebola case, with the application of the isolation process of the infected persons and the impact of the early detection of the virus on the dynamic of the spread in general. Another mathematical model was also presented to describe the dynamic of the Malaria  spread infection and the study of different scenarios to contain the disease based on a strategy that is built on using some of the individuals in the society for the ordinary mosquito nets and treatment by using pesticides.

At the end of the scientific meeting, the Deanship of the College of Applied Sciences gave Dr. Montaser Sa’afan a special trophy for his participation in presenting this meeting.
