Class Details
Mathematical models are an essential tool in the study of infectious diseases and have aided in the development, implementation, and evaluation of public health interventions. This course will introduce key concepts and methods of mathematical modeling of infectious diseases and discuss the role of these models in elucidating the spread of infectious pathogens in dynamic populations. In addition to developing a basis in the theory of mathematical modeling, this course will include exploration of existing models through computer simulation. Students will learn to construct, analyze, and simulate models and interpret results within the biological context. The course will consist of a combination of lecture, discussion and computer lab sessions in R. Familiarity with computer programming is helpful but not necessary.
