Abstract
Imagine that when a virus enters our body, our immune system is activated, and some cells start to track and kill the virus. Here is an interesting question: How do the cells know which direction is the correct one, given that the movement of the virus is totally random? My project will use differential equations, particularly stochastic differential equations, to explain this phenomenon and numerical methods that rely on computers to predict the potential future movement of the cells.
