Learning outcome

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

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

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

  • Analyze and qualified argue for results on discrete 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 discrete dynamical systems.
  • Produce proofs of simple results at the level of the course.
  • Use the introduced abstract concepts on concrete problems.
  • Discuss topics from discrete dynamical systems.
  • Explain how discrete dynamical systems and results about dynamical systems enter in various applications.
