Abstract
The spread of a disease can be modelled through systems of differential equations, specifically, epidemiological models. Given the properties of differential equations, we are able to find the equilibria of these systems and perform an analysis using Jacobian matrices to determine how disease transmission will behave. In this paper, we will examine a few epidemiological models. They vary because of inherent differences in how certain pathogens affect the human body.
