PROBLEM A: Eradicating Ebola 问题一:根除埃博拉 The world medical association has announced that their new medication could stop Ebola and cure patients whose disease is not advanced. Build a realistic, sensible, and useful model that considers not only the spread of the disease, the quantity of the medicine needed, possible feasible delivery systems, locations of delivery, speed of manufacturing of the vaccine or drug, but also any other critical factors your team considers necessary as part of the model to optimize the eradication of Ebola, or at least its current strain. In addition to your modeling approach for the contest, prepare a 1-2 page non-technical letter for the world medical association to use in their announcement. 世界医学学会已经宣布他们发现了新的药物可以阻止埃博拉病毒并能治愈病情不再恶化的病人。创建建立一个现实的、明智的和有用的模型，该模型不仅考虑了疾病的蔓延、需药物的量、可能可行的输送系统、交货地点、疫苗或药物的生产速度，也要包括你的团队认为必要的其他关键因素，该因素应作为优化根除埃博拉病毒模型的一部分，或者至少作为目前的应变的手段。除了提交本次比赛建立模型的方法外，还要提交一个1-2 页的非技术性的信，作为世界医学协会在其公告使用的。 PROBLEM B: Searching for a lost plane 问题2:寻找失去的飞机 Recall the lost Malaysian flight MH370. Build a generic mathematical model that could assist "searchers" in planning a useful search for a lost plane feared to have crashed in open water such as the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern, or Arctic Ocean while flying from Point A to Point B. Assume that there are no signals from the downed plane. Your model should recognize that there are many different types of planes for which we might be searching and that there are many different types of search planes, often using different electronics or sens...
