The basic reproductive number $R_0$ is the expected number of secondary infections produced by one infected individual in the initial population setting used by the model. In this lecture, it is written as $(N-1)\beta/\gamma$ or $\hat{\beta}/\gamma$.

Conditions: Defined for the SIR model under the initial condition $I(0)=1$.; $\hat{\beta}$ is the lumped exposure-rate parameter introduced in this segment.; The quantity is the same $R_0$ derived from the initial-growth condition.; The model context is the SIR framework displayed on the board.
