Course Objective

In this course dynamical systems which are formulated by nonlinear equations are given. Exact (analytical) solution to these problems may or may not be obtained. In this case behaviour of solutions and stability of the system are discussed. Periodic and chaotic behaviours are also introduced.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   will be able to obtain and classify the critical points of dynamical systems.
2   will be able to apply the theory to simple modelling problems.
3   will be able to discuss the stability of a dynamical system.
4   will be able to describe how a phase portrait changes as a parameter changes in the system.
5   will be able to determine the behaviour of the solutions to dynamical system.
