About this ebook

Percus (Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, New York U.) offers this book for mathematicians based on lecture notes from a course he has given on mathematical methods in immunology, focusing on the battle between the HIV virus and the adaptive immune system and excluding discussion of the innate immune system and the role of inflammatory response and the topics of allergy and autoimmunity. He details the basics of immunology, quantifying the immune response through assays, modeling humoral immune and cell-mediated responses, control of immune response, and the perspective of the virus. Much of the math material is presented in the "classical" format of population dynamics of a well-mixed population, with some discussion of small and/or discrete populations.
