Founded in 1998 out of a special interest group on multi-criteria decision making, The International Society for Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) develops, tests, evaluates and applies methodologies for solving multiple criteria decision making problems. They foster interaction and research in the scientific field of multiple criteria decision making, and work with other organizations in the study of management from a quantitative perspective. Resources available from MCDM include conferences, lists of software used for multi-criteria decision making…

This learning module explores mathematically modeling disease epidemics. Through video clips, Dr. Julia Gog and Dr. Andrew Conlan explain simple mathematical models for how disease spreads through populations, and how these models can be built upon for more complex modelling. These models can be used to predict epidemics, and in turn, help to mitigate their risks. Related resources, such as activities, worksheets, and presentations, are available to help students investigate mathematical modelling. These activities are…
