Welcome to www.JimMacDonald.co.uk!
I've just finished my PhD in Maths at the University of Warwick. I studyed the affects of seasonal forcing in the birth rate of
simple epidemiological/epizootiological models and the consquences on the periodicity of the model dynamics. My
Supervisor was Prof Matt Keeling. My thesis entitled A computational investigation of
seasonally forced disease dynamics can be downloaded here.

studying Maths at the University of Warwick.

Research Downloads
Here is a selection of materials produced though my PhD research that are available to download.
- My thesis A computational investigation of
seasonally forced disease dynamics [PDF]
- My thesis in insane format (that is all on one page) [PDF]
- The slides for a talk I gave at one of the Ecology and epidemiology group seminars [PDF]
- The slides for a talk I gave at the BAMC in Liverpool in 2005 [PDF]
- Basin of attraction for the Simple SIR model. S_0
runs from 0.15848931924611 to 0.39810717055350 and I_0 from 1e-50 to 1e-1.g=0.5, i,j=50 so R_0=3.98
and x=0.0191938. Colours represent the period, and are the same as those in my thesis. [PNG]
- A movie comprised of plots showing the periodicity of the dynamics exhibited by the pulsed SIR model (see chapter 2 of my thesis) as the infections period varies from 66 to 2 days (g=0.015 to 0.495)

My Other webpages
Here is a list of some of the other sites that I have. This is mainly for historical reference as most are now unmaintained really.
