**课程名称：** Epidemiology Without Math (无数学流行病学) **课程概述：** 在COVID-19疫情的背景下，公众对流行病学这门科学的兴趣日益浓厚。然而，对于没有医学背景的人来说，可能对流行病学存在片面的认识。虽然流行病学确实涉及大量的数学和统计学知识，它本质上是关于人群健康研究的科学，无需接触血液或体液等令人不适的元素。课程的核心工具是逻辑、推理和统计学！ 流行病学的核心概念对每个人都至关重要且息息相关，而不仅仅是研究人员。例如，学习这门课程能帮助你更流畅地阅读关于研究发现的报纸报道。当你理解了专家们是如何得出结论的，你就已经迈向了成为一名专家的半步，这是一种“超能力”。因此，我希望每个人都能对流行病学有一个基本的了解。 考虑到许多人对数学望而却步，本课程特别设计为避免所有的计算和演算。我后续会开设包含相关数学内容的课程，供感兴趣的学习者选择。但对于其他人来说，这九讲内容足以让你对流行病学这门科学有一个扎实的认识。我认为这门课程非常适合记者、害怕数学的学生以及任何希望增强自身知识储备的公民。 希望您喜欢这门课程！
In the wake of the COVID pandemic, interest in the science of Epidemiology is soaring. But if you don't have a background in medical science, you probably have a skewed impression of what it's all about. Yes, there is a lot of math and statistics built into Epidemiology. After all, it is essentially the science of population health research without the ickiness of blood, ooze, or other fluids to deal with. Our major tools are logic, reason, and statistics!However, the core concepts of Epidemiology are useful and relevant for everyone, not just researchers. It can help you read newspaper reports about research findings more fluently, for example. If you understand how the experts know what they claim to know, then you're halfway to being an expert yourself. I think it's a kind of super power. And as a result, I wish everyone could receive a minimal grounding in Epidemiology.But because a lot of people are spooked by the prospect of mathematics, I've created this course specifically to avoid all computations and calculations. I have a follow-up course with that content included, for those who are interested. But for everyone else, these nine lectures are really all you need to get a solid footing in this science. I think it's ideal for journalists, math-phobic students, and any citizen interested in adding to their intellectual arsenal.I hope you enjoy it!
