COGS 3150 Nonlinear Systems and Chaos (4 units). This course deals with the quantitative methods needed for work with nonlinear systems from many fields. Together with its laboratory, the course provides experience with phase space maps, Poincare sections, basins of attraction, and strange attractors, and with fractals and fractal dimensionality. It emphasizes systems best described by discrete mathematics. Prerequisite: COGS 2300 or consent of instructor.
