Additional Material
Announcement
In the first semester (period 1 and 2) of the academic year 2016-2017, there will be a seminar on the topic "Mathematical models for the spread of infectious diseases" provided there are sufficiently many participants. The seminar will be based on the book
Mathematical Tools for Understanding Infectious Disease Dynamics (http://press.princeton.edu/titles/9916.html) by Odo Diekmann, Hans Heesterbeek and Tom Britton.
The aim is that the participants, in turns, will study a part of the book and give a (constructive critical) presentation for the other participants who should have read that part as well. Apart from university students, we also welcome participants from other institutes, for instance the RIVM, university medical centers and the Animal Sciences Group in Lelystad.
The seminar will take place in de Uithof, Utrecht most likely on Monday or Tuesday because, but the exact time and day is open for discussion.
More information on the course can be obtained from Martin Bootsma. The participants will be awarded 7.5 ECTS credits after successful participation. If you are interested in participating, please send the following information to Martin Bootsma (M.C.J.Bootsma@uu.nl):

- e-mail address:
