Spatiotemporal Modeling of Influenza

This book has a two-fold purpose:

1. An introduction to the computer-based modeling of influenza, a continuing major worldwide communicable disease.
2. The use of (1) as an illustration of a methodology for the computer-based modeling of communicable diseases.

For the purposes of (1) and (2), a basic influenza model is formulated as a system of partial differential equations (PDEs) that define the spatiote...
