Description for Mathematical Tools for Understanding Infectious Disease Dynamics
Hardback. Mathematical modeling is critical to our understanding of how infectious diseases spread at the individual and population levels. This book explains how to translate biological assumptions into mathematics to construct useful and consistent models, and how to use the biological interpretation and mathematical reasoning to analyze these models. Series: Princeton Series in Theoretical and Computational Biology. Num Pages: 520 pages, 53 line illus. 1 table. BIC Classification: MBNS; PBWH. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 259 x 178 x 33. Weight in Grams: 1206.
Mathematical modeling is critical to our understanding of how infectious diseases spread at the individual and population levels. This book gives readers the necessary skills to correctly formulate and analyze mathematical models in infectious disease epidemiology, and is the first treatment of the subject to integrate deterministic and stochastic models and methods. Mathematical Tools for Understanding Infectious Disease Dynamics fully explains how to translate biological assumptions into mathematics to construct useful and consistent models, and how to use the biological interpretation and mathematical reasoning to analyze these models. It shows how to relate models to data through statistical inference, and ... Read more
