Dynamical Systems (L6) (G5126)
15 credits, Level 6
Spring teaching
You will discuss concepts such as stability, attractor, basin of attraction and chaos for general dynamical systems, and then study them for dynamical systems given by ordinary differential equations and iterations of maps in particular.
The module uses methods from analysis, but also many sketches to visually understand the concepts.
Teaching
100%: Lecture
Assessment
20%: Coursework (Portfolio, Problem set)

Contact hours and workload
This module is approximately 150 hours of work. This breaks down into about 33 hours of contact time and about 117 hours of independent study. The 5X社区视频 may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.
We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We鈥檙e planning to run these modules in the academic year 2024/25. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.
We鈥檒l make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
