Physics: Chaos for Science and Technology

Utbildningsfakta

Kod: FYST57

<p>The aim of the course is to introduce chaotic systems and different approaches towards non-linear problems. Several conceptual tools and examples to approach and interpret the non-linear are provided to the student in order to understand complex systems and their eventually chaotic nature. The course shows the pervasive nature of these concepts and gives a possibility to reflect over the fascinating phenomena which may show up in chaotic systems. The abstract and theoretical nature of chaos theory is declined in practical and concrete concepts. For example, strange attractors will highlight the importance of fractal geometry, in order to discuss the posibility that the Solar system is unstable over a longer time scale. The fascinating universality of chaotic behaviour across science and technology will deliver a precious lesson on the beauty and impact of mathematical investigation of phenomena.</p> <p>The course is given by the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) and follows the LTH study period and examination schedule.</p>

Behörighet

To be admitted to the course, students must have 75 credits in science studies and 45 credits in mathematics, including knowledge corresponding to MATB21 Multivariate Analysis 1, 7.5 credits and English 6/B.
