Dynamical Systems Theory

Catalog description

This course is a rigorous introduction to continuous and discrete dynamical systems. It seeks to convey the fundamental theories and methods of dynamical systems, from local behavior near a critical point or periodic orbit, to the global, such as global structural stability, bifurcations, and chaos. Modeling and applications in physical, biological, and social sciences are also explored. Prerequisite: MATH 2511 and MATH 2813
