Applied Calculus for Public Health Epidemiology: Handbook of Concepts for Disease Modeling and Public Health Surveillance

Applied Calculus for Public Health Epidemiology presents selected calculus concepts in a practical format for public health professionals and students.

The book reviews functions, limits, derivatives, integrals, exponential growth, doubling time, and first-order differential equations, and connects these topics to applied tasks such as outbreak analysis, disease modeling, and surveillance interpretation.

Each section includes structured explanations and worked examples grounded in public health contexts. Optional Python snippets provide opportunities for computational exploration. QR codes throughout the book link to brief video explanations and supplemental materials for readers who would like additional clarification.

This handbook is intended to support analytic clarity in applied public health settings. It emphasizes
understanding and interpretation rather than mathematical formalism.
