EE 5060 - Introduction to Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course introduces the student to the basic concepts of nonlinear dynamics and chaos via numerical simulations and electric circuits. The primary goal is to understand the bifurcations and steady-state behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems. The secondary goal is to study the phenomenon of chaos using computer simulation and physical circuits. In addition, due to the graduate nature of the course, students will be asked to work on a more challenging project, as opposed to the undergraduate course offering. (prereq: MA 235, EE 2050 or EE 201, or equivalent)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Describe the fundamental differences between linear and nonlinear dynamical
