Dynamical Systems (L7) (976G1)

15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Spring teaching

On this module, you’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of methods and tools in the field of dynamical systems. The module is structured around three areas:

• general dynamical systems: semiflow, stability and attraction, omega-limit set, global attractor
• ordinary differential equations: linear systems, Lyapunov function, linearised systems around fixed points, two-dimensional systems, periodic orbits
• discrete systems (iterations): linear systems, linearised systems around fixed points, chaos.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
