Description

Objective:

The course objective is to learn the mathematical theory of nonlinear differential equations and their application to systems such as the pendulum, the glider, and the weather.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Apply the theory of linear systems to nonlinear systems near equilibrium points
  • Use null clines to simplify phase plane analysis, and discuss systems with conserved quantities, dissipative systems, and gradient systems
  • Understand of chaotic systems using the Lorenz system as the primary example

General Topics:

  • Nonlinear differential equations
