This general introduction to the mathematical techniques needed to understand epidemiology begins with an historical outline of some disease statistics, before describing simple mathematical models for epidemics. A range of methods for constructing and analysing models is provided. Questions of fitting data to models, and their use in understanding methods for controlling the spread of infection are discussed. Exercises and complementary results at the end of each chapter extend the...
