Learning Outcomes
In the end of the lectures, the students 1) should have become familiar with the basic theory and methods used for the study of nonlinear dynamical systems in Physics and in other sciences. 2) learn to recognize the usefulness of analytical mathematical methods and their limits and how to manage computational methods. 3) under a systematic way, they come in contact with the modern theory of chaos. 4) since software of symbolic mathematics and numerical computations is widely used, they get this particular mastery too, which is very useful for their scientific field.
General Competences
  • Apply knowledge in practice
  • Generate new research ideas
