Covid in Italy: Comparison between Models
Affiliation:
1. GeoGebra Institute of Turin, ITALY
Abstract
The text aims to address the topic of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic from the point of view of mathematical models. Numerous studies refer to the impact of COVID-19 on student behavior, the use of e-learning, and harm reduction policies. The analysis presented in the text has a different objective: to develop, among students, knowledge of some mathematical models starting from data detected in a phenomenon of notable impact. In this case, the focus is on the aspects that could be covered in the last class of some upper secondary school courses or the first year of university in mathematics and statistics courses. The data refers to the Italian case, and the analysis considers data from 02/24/2020 to 5/5/2023, the date the WHO declared the end of the pandemic.
