Learning outcome

Knowledge:
By the end of the course the student is expected to have:

  • In depth knowledge of fundamental results and methods in dynamical systems.
  • Knowledge of the concrete dynamical systems presented in during the course.
  • Understanding of the many and diverse appearances and applications of dynamical systems.
     

Skills:  
By the end of the course the student is expected to be able to 

  • Analyze and qualified argue for results on dynamical systems.
  • Produce proofs for theorems in line with those appearing in the course.
  • Solve exercises posed during the course.

 

Competencies:  
By the end of the course the student is expected to be able to 

  • Follow and reproduce arguments and applications of abstract notions and concepts from dynamical systems.
  • Produce proofs of simple results at the level of the course.
  • Use the introduced abstract concepts on concrete problems.
  • Discuss topics from dynamical systems.
  • Explain how dynamical systems and results about dynamical systems enter in various applications.
