The Institute for Mathematical Sciences at the National University of  Singapore hosted a research program on  Mathematical Modeling of Infectious  Diseases: Dynamics and Control  from 15 August to 9 October 2005. As part  of the program, tutorials for graduate students and junior researchers were  given by leading experts in the field.    This invaluable volume is a collection of three expanded lecture notes of  those tutorials which cover a wide range of topics including basic  mathematical details for various epidemic models, statistical distribution  theory, and applications with real-life examples with implications for health  policy makers.    Contents:  The Basic Epidemiology Models: Models, Expressions for   R 0, Parameter Estimation, and Applications (H W Hethcote);  Epidemiology Models with Variable Population Size (H W Hethcote);  Age-Structured Epidemiology Models and Expressions for  R 0 (H  W Hethcote); Clinical and Public Health Applications of Mathematical Models (J  W Glasser); Non-Identifiables and Invariant Quantities in Infectious Disease  Models (P Yan).
