In an effort to create a safe environment against respiratory diseases, the Mathematics Department at the Faculty of Education, in collaboration with the Faculty of Health and Medical Technologies (Department of Radiology and Ultrasound) and the Continuing Education Department, organised a scientific seminar entitled “How Can Mathematics Fight Coronavirus?” The event took place in Umm Abiha Hall at the main building of Al-Zahraa University for Women.
This seminar formed part of a series of scientific events previously held by the University, aimed at exploring effective methods for establishing a safe educational environment and safeguarding individuals from respiratory illnesses.
The seminar was led by Prof. Dr. Iman Sameer Bahiya from the Faculty of Education for Pure Sciences, University of Babylon, and covered several scientific topics. It also included the presentation of a mathematical model simulating the behaviour of gases and pollutants within enclosed spaces. The discussion further addressed the use of medical, physical, and mathematical techniques to combat airborne viruses such as COVID-19. Additionally, among the outcomes presented was the development of an alarm device designed to signal the risk posed by increased concentrations of viruses in a room containing both infected and non-infected individuals.
