Note

"This DIMACS volume presents selected papers from the U.S.-Africa Advanced Study Institute on Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases in Africa, held at the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Muizenberg, South Africa, from June 11-22, 2007, and the DIMACS Workshop of the same name, hosted by the South Africa Centre for Epidemiological Modeling and Analysis, Stellenbosch, South Africa, from June 25-27, 2007."--T.p. verso

Description and Table of Contents

Description

This volume stems from two DIMACS activities, the U.S.-Africa Advanced Study Institute and the DIMACS Workshop, both on Mathematical Modeling of Infectious Diseases in Africa, held in South Africa in the summer of 2007. It contains both tutorial papers and research papers. Students and researchers should find the papers on modeling and analyzing certain diseases currently affecting Africa very informative. In particular, they can learn basic principles of disease modeling and stability from the tutorial papers where continuous and discrete time models, optimal control, and stochastic features are introduced.
