MTH 3102 - Chaotic Dynamical Systems

Institution:

CUNY Bernard M Baruch College

Subject:

Description:

4 hours; 4 credits Chaos arises in mathematics when arbitrarily small changes in initial data can lead to immense changes in results over a fixed time interval. This course studies these phenomena both in the abstract and by experimentally using computer algebra systems. It begins with the iteration of polynomial maps of one variable. Most important phenomena are already present in this simple situation. The iteration of quadratic functions of one complex variable will lead to the Mandelbrot set. Prerequisite: MTH 3010 or departmental permission.
