Mathematical Epidemiology Reference Request

Question

I'm looking for a good Textbook for learning Mathematical Epidemiology. Something that I could read through and use as a future reference book.

Thanks for the advice!

Answer 1

What I have read and seen myself before related to epidemiology and infectious diseases, you can take a look at section one of chapter 11 of the book Differential Equations, Dynamical Systems and an Introduction to Chaos written by Hirsch, Smale and Devaney. But in general there is a book from Springer called exactly Mathematical Epidemiology written by Brauer et al.

There is a dictionary type book at google book called Biostatistical Genetics and Genetic Epidemiology, for Genetic Epidemiology you can use it as a reference to concepts and terminologies.

Answer 2

If you're looking for an analysis approach: "Mathematical Models in Population Biology and Epidemiology" written by two world class experts in the field is a classic.

If you're looking for an statistical approach: "Epidemiology - Study Design and Data Analysis" is quite popular for good reason.

Good luck.
