MATH 485 Nonlinear Dynamics

This course introduces students to applications of nonlinear dynamical systems. Students learn to qualitatively describe the behavior of a solution of a dynamical system and identify various types of bifurcations in one- and two-dimensional systems. Moreover, students analyze limit cycles and their stability. Finally, this course offers students basic knowledge of Hamiltonian systems and integrability.
