Details

Two courses will be offered:

• Course 1. Mathematical epidemiology, and
• Course 2. Data, models, and decision support.

Participants will take both courses and receive a grade and certificate of completion that may be used to transfer credit to the home institution.

A pre-requisite problem set will be assigned to be submitted by August 19. This problem set will cover preliminaries in dynamical systems, epidemiology, and modelling.

From August 20 to 30, 7 hours of work are planned to occur at Bonne Bay Marine Station. Participants should capitalize on being together in one location to work efficiently on projects.
