No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1989–90 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
A unified view of linear and nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations in R". Flow operators and their Classification: contractions, expansions, hyperbolic flows. Stable and unstable manifolds. Phase space analysis. Nonlinear systems, stability of equilibria and Lyapunov functions. The special case of flows in the plane, Poincaré- Bendixon theorem and limit cycles. Poincaré maps. Applications to physical problems will be a motivating influence. Formerly AM 391
As printed in the 1989–90 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
