Second course in a two-semester sequence. This course cannot be used to fulfill the breadth requirement for the M.S. degree in Computer Science. Explores chaotic dynamics theoreticlaly and through computer simulations. Covers the standard computational and analytical tools used in nonlinear dynamics and concludes with an overview of leading-edge chaos research. Topics include time and phase-space dynamics, surfaces of section, bifurcation diagrams, fractal dimension, Lyapunov exponents.
