Course Objectives/Outcomes:
1) Understand several fundamental concepts of the dynamical systems, specifically:
- dynamics of the quadratic family,
- topological dynamics; recurrence, mixing and transitivity,
- stable and unstable manifolds, homoclinic and heteroclinic intersections, horseshoes,
- fractals,
- one and two dimensional flows, phase space, limit cycles and Poincar\'e-Bendixson Theorem,
- bifurcations in flows and maps.
2) Understand and be able to explain/present some applications of the theory.
3) Outline the mathematical methods and techniques used to analyse these models and understand in what situations these methods can be applied.
4) Solve representative problems in the above-mentioned topics.
5) Carry out numerical studies of dynamical systems.
