Life is non-linear. This course introduces dynamical systems as a technique for modelling simple biological processes. The emphasis is on the qualitative and numerical analysis of non-linear dynamical models. Examples are taken from biology and population ...
Ce cours propose une introduction à la mécanique analytique. Il introduit les formalismes lagrangien et hamiltonien, en insistant sur leur capacité à simplifier la description des systèmes contraints, des symétries et des lois de conservation. Il présente ...
The course is an introduction to symmetry analysis in fluid mechanics. The student will learn how to find similarity and travelling-wave solutions to partial differential equations used in fluid and continuum mechanics. The course covers mathematical and p ...
Le but du cours de physique générale est de donner à l'étudiant les notions de base nécessaires à la compréhension des phénomènes physiques. L'objectif est atteint lorsque l'étudiant est capable de prévoir quantitativement les conséquences de ces phénomène ...
The student has a basic understanding of the physical and physicochemical principles which result from the chainlike structure of synthetic macromolecules. The student can predict major characteristics of a polymer from its chemical structure and molecular ...
Linear and nonlinear dynamical systems are found in all fields of science and engineering. After a short review of linear system theory, the class will explain and develop the main tools for the qualitative analysis of nonlinear systems, both in discrete-t ...
Introduction to local and global behavior of
nonlinear dynamical systems arising from maps and ordinary differential equations. Theoretical and computational aspects studied. ...
