DESCRIPTION
Modern dynamical systems theory originates with the work of Poincare, who revolutionized the study of dynamical systems by introducing qualitative techniques of geometry and topology to discuss global properties of solutions. The study of chaotic dynamical systems from the 1960s on lead to a breakthrough in science and an explosion of interest in the field of dynamical systems.
This course investigates nonlinear dynamical systems and explains basic ideas of the field in low dimensional settings of iterated maps on the line and in the plane. Important results and ideas are explained in this context, such as symbolic dynamics, "period three implies chaos" and the Shaskovskii theorem, period doubling route to chaos and dynamics of torus maps.
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) awards credits based on the ECTS system. Contact hours listed under a course description may vary due to the combination of lecture-based and independent work required for each course therefore, CEA's recommended credits are based on the ECTS credits assigned by VU Amsterdam. 1 ECTS equals 28 contact hours assigned by VU Amsterdam.
