Literature

D. K. Arrowsmith & C. M. Place, Dynamical Systems: Differential Equations, Maps, and Chaotic Behaviour, Chapman and Hall/CRC (1992), ISBN 9780412390807. Available as an e-book [pdf] via LiU's library (and some parts also via Google Books).

Language

The course is usually given in English (since it's often attended by exchange students from abroad). If all attendees speak Swedish, the teaching in the classroom will be in Swedish, but the course material will still be in English.

Teaching

The course uses a "flipped classroom" format with seminars based on pre-recorded video lectures to be watched in advance. However, the first meeting (at the very beginning of the study period) is just a regular lecture. There are also some lessons with extra time for catching up. Attendance is not mandatory (although it's recommended, of course).

Previous evaluations

The results of previous course evaluations can be found by searching for TATA71 in Evaliuate.

Changes to the course, fall 2020

No changes to the content of the course, just some minor polishing of the course programme. However, due to low class attendance the previous time the course was given (2018), and also for economical reasons, the scheduled time was reduced from 11+11 meetings to 11+4. Moreover, the course was given online because of the COVID-19 restrictions; practical information about this has been archived here.

Changes to the course, fall 2021

There were some changes to the homework assignments, based partly on wishes from higher powers (“EF-nämnden”) to incorporate more applications into the courses for the Mathematics programme. And one obvious difference compared to last year is that the course has now gone back to ordinary classroom teaching. A side effect of the online teaching is that there are now pre-recorded video lectures from the fall semester 2020 available here on the course webpage. Except for that, there are only minor updates to the course programme and to the exercises.

Changes to the course, fall 2022

Only some minor changes in the course programme and the exercises. Some of the more demanding homework problems have been split into more subproblems, to make them easier to solve (and to grade).

Changes to the course, fall 2023

Switched to a “flipped classroom” format, with the idea of making better use of the classroom time. Otherwise only minor changes in the course programme and the exercises.

Changes to the course, fall 2024

Various changes to the course programme and to the selection of exercises, including the homework problems. Added full solutions to some of the exercises in the course programme.

Litteratur

D. K. Arrowsmith & C. M. Place, Dynamical Systems: Differential Equations, Maps, and Chaotic Behaviour, Chapman and Hall/CRC (1992), ISBN 9780412390807. Tillgänglig som e-bok [pdf] via LiU:s bibliotek (och vissa delar kan även läsas via Google Books).

Språk

Kursen ges normalt på engelska, eftersom det brukar finnas utländska utbytesstudenter som går den. Om alla deltagare talar svenska så sker klassrumsundervisningen på svenska, men kursmaterialet är fortfarande på engelska.

Undervisning

Kursen använder sig av ett "flipped classroom"-format med seminarier baserade på förinspelade videoföreläsningar som man tittar på i förväg. Det första tillfället (precis i början av läsperioden) är dock bara en helt vanlig föreläsning. Dessutom blir det några lektioner med extra tid för att jobba ikapp. Det är inte obligatorisk närvaro (även om det såklart är rekommenderat att man deltar).
