Recensione

'... It gives an excellent general introduction to epidemic modelling, starting with an interesting historical account and then describing the most important and useful models which can be used.' Robert MacMillan, Mathematical Gazette

'The book will be accessible ... and its study highly rewarding, to anyone with an interest in epidemic models...' V. S. Isham, Short Book Reviews

'Daley and Gani's monograph is a concise and useful presentation of a variety of epidemiological models.' Daniel Haydon, Trends in Ecology and Evolution

'... gives an excellent general introduction to epidemic modelling ... should certainly be available to undergraduates.' Robert MacMillan, The Mathematical Gazette

'This book had us hooked ... [it] remains an important reference in our library and is frequently consulted for advice on how to think about modelling in related contexts.' Darfiana Nur and Kerrie L. Mengersen, The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics

'... the book is clear and well written ... could serve as course literature for graduate, or possibly last year undergraduate, course in epidemic modelling.' Statistics in Medicine

'I found the book very clear, concise and useful ... I recommend the book very strongly as a teaching tool and as a research tool to academics and scientists who are interested in epidemic modeling. I also strongly recommend the book to applied mathematicians who are intetrested in stochastic models in general.' Mathematics Today

Descrizione del libro

This is a general introduction to the ideas and techniques required for the mathematical modelling of diseases. Exercises and complementary results extend the scope of the text, which will be useful for students of mathematical biology who have some basic knowledge of probability and statistics.
