Description:
Contemporary topics in nonlinear dynamical systems illustrated in mathematical models from physics, ecology, and population dynamics. Traditional qualitative analysis of difference and differential equations provides background for understanding chaotic behavior when it occurs in these models. Topics include stability theory, fractals, Lyapunov exponents, and chaotic attractors. Offered by Mathematics. May not be repeated for credit. Equivalent to MATH 661.
