CHAOS AND DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

Code: MATH322

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 1

​ Math322 introduces the novel findings concerning the solving techniques and nature of solutions occurring in nonlinear difference and differential equations. The (counterpart) theory of linear equations is covered in Math122 (Dynamic Modelling) and Math201 (Differential Equations). The modern theory of fractals (occurred only in 1970s) is delivered and many examples of fractal objects, including the Mandelbrot set, are demonstrated. The classification of possible solutions occurring in dynamical systems together with the bifurcation theory is provided. The emphasis is made to the bifurcations leading to chaotic solutions. Detailed analysis of chaotic solutions (their nature and impact in understanding the universe) is provided. The qualitative analysis technique for solving nonlinear systems of difference/differential equations is introduced.
