Abstract
In this work we consider the SIR (Susceptible - Infected -Removed) epidemic model with infection and removal rates of general form and respectively. To calculate the final size of this model we give a recursive method using the embedded chain. Then we make a numerical calculation for some particular infections and removals rates. Our method we allow calculating the final size for a large population and for all values of basic reproduction number, so it is very fast.
