Publisher's Synopsis
This book is crafted with undergraduate students in mind, providing a solid introduction to the fundamentals of infectious disease epidemiology. It sets the stage by familiarizing readers with essential concepts and terminologies that serve as the foundational stones for understanding the subject. As we delve into the world of mathematical modeling, the journey begins with straightforward models, gradually progressing towards more complex structures.
What sets this book apart is its special emphasis on two powerful tools - Mathematica and R. These platforms play a pivotal role in the modeling process, each contributing its distinctive strengths. By incorporating both Mathematica and R, we aim to equip undergraduate students with a comprehensive skill set, allowing them to tackle the challenges of infectious disease epidemiology with a versatile and robust approach.
