Intro to Nonlinear Dynamics

Catalog description

The course aims to introduce students to the world of nonlinear dynamics and nonlinear oscillations as demonstrated through modern and real-world examples from various physical and engineering applications (including those from the instructor own research in Micro and Nano systems, sensors, and actuators). The course will teach the students the main characteristics and phenomena of nonlinear dynamics. It will also enrich their knowledge with useful analytical and numerical techniques to tackle nonlinear problems. Prerequisites: ME 302, ME 303, or Graduate level standing
