aims
The course is concepted as an introduction into the problematics, ideas and methods of the modern nonlinear dynamics. The underlying mathematical formalism will be illustrated by examples from applications: fluid dynamics, neuroscience, populational dynamics. The students will learn how to determine the stability of steady and oscillatory states, and how to deal with chaotic behavior. Acquired knowledge can be later applied to various fields of the modern natural science.
