DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

Prof Jeroen S.W. Lamb

Autumn 2018

Lectures: tuesday 11:00-13:00 & friday 12:00-13:00 in Huxley 139
Office hour: friday 13:00-14:00 in Huxley 638

The aim of this course is to provide an introduction to basic concepts of dynamical systems, also popularly known as Chaos Theory, both from a topological and probabilistic point of view.

This course is particularly recommended for students intending to take Dynamics of Games (MxPA48), Bifurcation Theory (MxPA24), Advanced Dynamical Systems (MxPA38) or Random Dynamical Systems and Ergodic Theory (MxPA40).

The course broadly follows lecture notes by Dr Martin Rasmussen, who taught this course the last few years, which are available to download from the course page at Blackboard (please contact me by e-mail if you do not have access so I can send you the notes by e-mail). Further guidance and eventual additional notes will be posted here in due course.

Some of the friday lecture hours will be devoted to discussion of the exercises, details tba.
