 Excellent, A must for mathematician and edidemiologists, 2001-01-23
I got hold of this book via one of the authors about two years ago when I first began working on disease modeling. It's a excellent book, well written, easy to follow and the discussions in each chapter are both intriguing and sensible. This books is aimed at biologists and epidemiologists who wish to work with mathematical models, but don't understand the various complexity that mathematicians sometimes go in to.It is divided into three sections, Part I being the most important for nearly all readers. This is an introduction to modeling and its fundamental concepts. Part II works on the theory, important concepts like the reproduction ratio are looked at in great detail here. Finally Part III is elaborations to nearly all the exercises. I particularly like this section as the answers are given in both mathematical equations and words, so it is clear to see what is going on. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone with a vague interest in disease modelling. I've tried to think of something negative to say about this book, but I can't find anything. Perphaps the cover's a bit strange?
