TY - JOUR T1 - A report on the zombie outbreak of 2009: how mathematics can save us (no, really) JF - Canadian Medical Association Journal JO - CMAJ SP - E297 LP - E300 DO - 10.1503/cmaj.091704 VL - 181 IS - 12 AU - Robert Smith Y1 - 2009/12/08 UR - http://www.cmaj.ca/content/181/12/E297.abstract N2 - An outbreak of zombification wreaked havoc recently in Canada and the rest of the world. Mathematical models were created to establish the speed of zombie infection and evaluate potential scenarios for intervention, mainly because mathematicians don’t have anything better to do with their time. We review the development of these models and their effect on the undead. ER -
