Abstract: Epidemiology is a field of study that aims to understand the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in populations and the application of this understanding to control health problems. One of the crucial aspects of epidemiology is the modeling of infectious diseases, which involves the use of mathematical tools, particularly differential equations. This paper explores the application of differential equations in epidemiology, focusing on their role in modeling the dynamics of infectious diseases. We discuss the basic concepts of differential equations, their relevance to epidemiological modeling, and various mathematical models that have been developed to analyze the spread of infectious diseases.
Keywords: Differential Equations, Epidemiology, SIR model, Compartmental Models, Infectious Diseases, Modeling, Public Health.
