Course Objective:
The course gives an introduction to dynamical systems (discrete and continuous). Students shall learn the basic quantitative and qualitative methods to solve dynamical sytems and shall become acqainted with the typical phenomena arising in linear and non-linear systems.
Content:
will be adapted according to the knowledge and needs of the students, some items may be added or skipped.
dynamical systems with discrete time:
one--dimensional systems and n-dimensional systems
linear and non--linear systems
stability
bifurcations
period doubling
dynamical systems with continuous time:
linear differential equations
non-linear autonomous differential equations
existence and uniqueness of solutions
stability
flow
symbolic dynamics
first courses in linear algebra and analysis

Student information |
The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.
