SYLLABUS
The course consists of interactive video lessons that cover the basics of infectious disease mathematical modelling, starting from the principles of compartmental SIR type models, how to present them theoretically using differential equations, and building and solving the models in the R software.
Lessons include several components:
- Interactive video tutorial led by an instructor
- Written tutorial or lesson notes to accomany the video
- Code and data files to download and code-along with the instructor in R, using real-world epidemic datasets (for code-based lessons only).
- Practice questions and exercises to apply newly gained skills, with detailed solutions and explanations
- Slide deck
We’re grateful to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for supporting the development of this course.
