| Course Title: Dynamical Systems |
| Start Date: 01/24/2022 End Date: 05/09/2022 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2022 |
| Description: Dynamical systems are mathematical models that evolve with time -- for example, the population of a species in an ecosystem or the price of a financial asset. This course will focus on discrete-time models where one iterates a single variable function and follows the evolution of points in its domain. Our aim will be to study the qualitative, long-term behavior of these models by developing mathematical theory and doing simulation. Topics will include periodicity, bifurcations, chaos, fractals, and computation. |
