Current Issues

No need to say to much, all electrical engineering branches are highly

related with the differential equations….
S-I-R Modeling
What about the Covid-19?
The main tool to model the faith of the Covid-19 again is usage of
differential equations… (Most essential approach S-I-R Model…)
