{wiki=Kermack–McKendrick_theory}
The Kermack–McKendrick theory, developed by the British mathematicians William Ogilvy Kermack and Anderson G. McKendrick in the 1920s, is a foundational model in the field of epidemiology. It is primarily focused on the mathematical modeling of infectious diseases and describes how infections spread through a population. The core of the theory involves constructing a set of differential equations that describe the dynamics of an infectious disease in a population over time.
