MTH 3400 - Chaos and Nonlinear Dynamics

Credits: 4 (4 + 0)

Prerequisite(s): MTH 1410 and MTH 2410 with a grade of “C” or better, or Permission of instructor; and satisfaction of all Level I General Studies course requirements

This course is an introduction to dynamical systems from the extension of Newtonian physics to the development of chaos theory and nonlinear dynamics. It gives insight into the evolution of nonlinear dynamics from historical mathematical and applications viewpoints. It develops and applies chaos theory to physical systems. Algorithms for generating intricate fractal images and the mathematics behind the images are also developed. (General Studies–Level II, Arts and Letters)
