Mathematical Epidemiology. SIR/SEIR, network epidemics, and reproductive numbers. This page collects canonical references that organise the subject and provide entry points to its main techniques.
Foundations and canonical references
The standard treatments of mathematical epidemiology approach the subject from complementary angles. Brauer, Mathematical Epidemiology (2008) is the anchor reference for the subject and lays out the core definitions, theorems, and worked examples that practitioners return to. Anderson, Infectious Diseases of Humans (1991) provides historical context and an early systematic exposition of the material.
Open methodological questions for mathematical epidemiology include sharpening the bridges between foundational theory and computational practice, extending classical results to broader or more structured settings, and integrating the techniques surveyed above with adjacent mathematical disciplines. The references listed in this page are the entry points that current work builds on.
