Suppose a student carrying a flu virus returns an isolated college campus of 1000 students. Determine a differential equation to calculate the number of students x(t) who have contracted the flu if the rate at which the disease spreads is proportional to the number of interactions between the number of students who have the flu and the number of students who have not yet been exposed to it ?
