Mathematical Modeling has emerged as an important tool for understanding dynamics of many infectious diseases, one of which is the Ebola virus. The main focus of the presented work was to model mathematically the transmission dynamics of Ebola virus, for this purpose, the basic Susceptible-Infected-Recovery (SIR) model of Ebola was reviewed. The basic concept was underpinning the implementation of different numerical techniques like Euler, RK-2, and RK-4 of SIR model. Most optimistic estimates for each group of individuals were obtained like the susceptible group of individuals did not change their values and remained 460, but the infected group of individuals gradually decreased their values, and only nominal increase in case of recovered group of individuals were observed due to the high mortality rate of infected group incase of Ebola.
