Who symposium on quantitative epidemiology

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 July 2016

Extract

This Symposium was organized “to explore existing mathematical theories of disease and the possibilities offered to the medical sciences by further research in this field”. Because of the extreme breadth of these terms of reference, the discussion was limited to problems of communicable disease. The intention was to bring academic mathematical research into closer contact with applied problems in public health. It was thought that in this way, WHO would have greater access to theoretical development, while mathematical work in Universities and research institutes would achieve closer contact with practical problems.
