Math 361 - Chaos and Dynamical Systems

Spring Semester, 2007-2008

Go straight to the syllabus.

This course is about dynamics--the mathematics of how things change with time. Dynamics has evolved from its origins in the calculus of Newton and Leibniz to a modern theory of dynamical systems relevant to areas of science including physics, astronomy, biology, chemistry, engineering, medicine, ecology, and economics. We will look at the main concepts and applications of dynamical systems and, in particular, a type of motion now called "chaos".
