Applying Modern Mathematics

Modeling the Spread of Infectious Diseases by Professor Raymond Flood. Mathematics has proved to be of considerable benefit in modelling the population biology of infectious diseases by examining the rate of change of the proportion of the population susceptible to, infected with and recovered from a particular infectious disease. In particular, if a vaccine is available, mathematics helps in understanding the impact of different vaccination strategies. (from gresham.ac.uk)
