COVID – 19 Special lecture series
Mathematicians worldwide are contributing to the understanding of the COVID – 19 epidemic, working on mathematical models that take into account the different situations in different countries. As the COVID 19 escalates, we the Department of Mathematics, SRM IST, Ramapuram organized COVID – 19 Special Lecture Series to explore and understand, various mathematical models which may provide a solution to the outbreak of COVID 19.
Each lecture had enthusiastic participation and overwhelming responses from the participants. I extend my sincere gratitude to the management, Director, Dean, VP’s and the technical team for their support.
