Tutorial

This page is a tutorial introduction to epydemic. It begins with an overview of the class class structure of the library, and then uses it to build and run a simulation of an epidemic.

If you want more examples of epydemic in action, it forms the basis for a book on epidemic modelling [Dob20].
