Mathematical Methods and Models for Applications

The course aims at providing the fundamentals of models, methods and mathematical tools used to study low dimensional dynamical systems, even those presenting a chaotic behaviour, also in connection with applicative problems. This will be pursued with the aid of laboratory sessions, where suitable numerical schemes will be developed.

At the end of the course, the students should be able to study simple dynamical systems representing mathematical models also arising from applicative problems, and should be able to develop suitable numerical tools supprting the aforementioned study.
