Dynamical Systems - Summer Semester 2021 - Lecture and Seminar (2+2)

Dynamical Systems


This course is part of the diploma programs Mathematik and Wirtschaftsmathematik as well as of the International Master Program Mathematical Physics as part of the module 10-MAT-MPDS1. Hence the course language is English.

Along with this course, there is the Seminar "Dynamical Systems". This seminar extends the course and is also part of the module 10-MAT-MPDS1.

The participation in the lecture does not require participation in the seminar.


Lecture and Seminar are organized via a
Moodle course.




Schedule and Begin


  • The lectures are online and live.
  • They are carried out on BigBlueButton, Access and Recordings via the Moodle course.
  • Schedule: Wednesdays, 11:15-12:45
  • Begin: April 14, 2021



Target Group


  • Students in the Diploma Programs of Mathematik and Wirtschaftsmathematik in 4th or 6th semester, and
  • students renrolled in the International Program MSc Mathematical Physics, 2nd semester of 1st year.



Contents

This course will cover an introduction to fundamental aspects of dynamical systems as well as topics such as bifurcation theory and measure-theoretical dynamical systems. Concerning the latter aspect, the notion of entropy will be covered.




Requirements

  • no formal requirements, but advisable are
  • sufficient skills in analysis and measure theory (e.g. semesters 1-3 in diploma programs, or modules 12-PHY-MPMP1 and 12-PHY-MPMP2)
