Course Description
EEL829 covers topics aimed at providing an introduction to dynamics. It is useful for students who wish to pursue work in control theory and/ or mathematical modeling with differential equations. In addition, this course will be beneficial to studies of electrical & biomolecular circuits, mechanics & physics (especially planetary dynamics) and the biological & chemical sciences.

The course will focus on basics of ordinary differential equations oriented towards applications in control and dynamical systems. Topics include: Equilibrium points & Stability, Oscillators & Limit cycles, Bifurcations, Perturbation & Averaging. Overview of Chaos, Non-normal growth and Control.
