MTH 3400 - Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics

Credits: 4

Prerequisite(s): MTH 2410 with a grade of C- or better, or permission of instructor.

Description: This course is an introduction to dynamical systems from the extension of Newtonian physics to the modern development of chaos theory and nonlinear dynamics. The dynamics of linear and nonlinear systems are analyzed. Applications to numerous physical systems are studied. Algorithms for generating intricate fractal images and the mathematics behind the images are also developed.
