This course will cover the basic tools required to critically read modelling papers and to develop and use models as research tools. Models of infectious disease; threshold conditions for epidemic outbreaks, the basic reproductive rate of a disease; vaccination strategies to control infection. Emphasis will be placed on setting up and utilizing mathematical models to understand infectious disease processes and to evaluate potential control strategies. This course will provide an opportunity for students who are interested in using mathematical modelling techniques to study the transmission dynamics of infectious disease on a population level. The course will help to develop modelling, analytical and computational expertise in both continuous time and discrete time dynamical models for the study of infectious diseases. Prerequisites: Atkinson/Arts/Science Mathematics & Statistics 2270 3.0: "Differential equations or equivalent and some numerical skills" or equivalent and familiarity with Maple or Matlab or Mathematica
