MATH 395D - Chaotic Dynamical Systems

Institution:

Bates College

Subject:

Description:

One of the major scientific accomplishments of the last twenty-five years was the discovery of chaos and the recognition that sensitive dependence on initial conditions is exhibited by so many natural and man-made processes. To really understand chaos, one needs to learn the mathematics behind it. This seminar considers mathematical models of real-world processes and studies how these models behave as they demonstrate chaos and its surprising order. Prerequisite(s): Mathematics 301. Corequisite(s): Mathematics 309. Open to seniors only. Not open to students who have received credit for Mathematics 457 or 458. S. Ross.
