Epidemiological models are important tools to understand the dynamics of infectious diseases, contributing to public health authorities' capacity to implement the available intervention measures to control disease transmission. As the COVID-19 pandemic progressed, research on mathematical modeling became imperative and very influential, to understand the epidemiological dynamics of disease spreading and control under different scenarios. This course provides an introduction to mathematical epidemiology, from mathematical concepts and applications up to discussion of real world case studies, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
