SUMMARY:Some ideas about deterministic models and heterogeneous population

DESCRIPTION:After a brief review of the mean-field and pair-approximation 
 classes of epidemic model\, I will introduce an alternative type of model 
 that can be applied at the level of individuals rather than whole populati
 ons. I will discuss some insights that this construction provides into the
  classic mean-field and pair-approximation models and will briefly conside
 r the potential of this methodology for representing the complexities of r
 eal-world epidemic systems.
