| Description | In this course, students were introduced to the modern study of dynamical systems, the interdisciplinary field of applied mathematics that studies systems that change over time. Topics covered included: phase space, bifurcations, chaos, the butterfly effect, strange attractors, and pattern formation. The course focused on aspects from dynamical systems that are particularly relevant to complex systems. Students completed group explorations and a substantial independent project. Prerequisites: completion of the "Calculus in Context" sequence (or equivalent). |
