Description

Introduction to dynamical systems and chaos with emphasis on applications in science and engineering. Topics include one-dimensional flows (fixed points, stability and bifurcations), two-dimensional flows (phase planes, limit cycles, and bifurcations), and chaos (lorenz equations, maps, fractals and strange attractors). This course counts as a technical elective for applied mathematics majors and minors.
