The course will provide an overview of the mathematical modelling of the spread of infectious disease within populations and equip students to use mathematical models to describe real-world disease incidence data. Topics include: ordinary differential equation models of endemic, epidemic and pandemic diseases; model selection, data fitting and parameter estimation.
