Learning Outcomes
1. They will know one dimensional maps and the logistic map.
2. The will have learned about chaow and its significance in our lifes.
3. They will be able to find the fixed pointsw of a non linear map .
4. They will be able to linearize around fixed points of a two dimesional map and find the solution.
5. They will perceive the transverse intersections of the stable and unstable manifolds of a sadle fixed point and how this leads to chaos.
