Explores chaotic dynamics theoretically 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 and Lyapunov exponents. Recommended prerequisites: PHYS 1120 and CSCI 3656 and (APPM 3310 or CSCI 2820 or MATH 2130 or MATH 2135 or MATH 3130 or MATH 3135). Same as CSCI 5446 and ECEN 4423 and ECEN 5423.
