Age-Structured Population Dynamics in Demography and Epidemiology

Více o knize

Focusing on the integration of age-structured population dynamics, this book rigorously formulates demographic models to address real-world population issues. It begins with classical models analyzed through the McKendrick partial differential equation, then transitions to mathematical frameworks for studying infectious disease spread using nonlinear differential equations. The text emphasizes the significance of the basic reproduction number in both demography and epidemiology, presenting a unified approach that incorporates host age structure to enhance epidemic modeling and inform effective control strategies.
