- an on-line resource to mathematics that epi
demiologists and public health professionals
find essential. One of the most serious skills
lacking in our pool of students was mathe
matical sophistication, and we seek to address
that need.
In the meantime, we approach the next year
with a complete course in hand, one which will
evolve with us as we increase our own knowl
edge and as we seek to “...provide students
with the knowledge, theory, and methodolog
ical skills for analyzing and interpreting the
spatial patterns of various diseases in order to
elucidate underlying exposure processes giv
ing rise to the observed patterns.” In this late
stage of our grant we hope to begin increasing
our distribution of the materials and the site.
It is our great hope that many others will find
our site worthy of a visit, and perhaps even
an extended stay, as the richness of the site
continues to grow\
