        The goal Introduce students to basic methods of theoretical, numerical and experimental approach in analysis of the nonlinear dynamics problems. Introduce with basic concepts of deterministic evolution, stability, phase portraits, fixed points, bifurcations, and regular and chaotic dynamics to make students capable for a basic analysis of nonlinear physical systems.
        The outcome After the completion of this course it is expected that students will be capable to apply theoretical methods of nonlinear dynamics for analyses the nonlinear systems in physics, biology, and chemistry, to perform numerical analysis of the stability nonlinear systems and processing of the experimental data.
        Contents
