Language(s) of instruction :
 |
| French language |
 |
Course contents :
 |
| The course is an introduction to the analysis and synthesis of nonlinear dynamical systems. The mathematical tools are illustrated on different applications, preferentially in the fields of neurodynamics, nonlinear control, and physics. Further specific illustrations are investigated by the students through individual projects. |
 |
Learning outcomes of the course :
 |
| An increasing number of engineering applications either exploit or have to deal with nonlinear dynamical phenomena. The course presents the basic mathematical tools used in the modelling and analysis of such phenomena. |
 |
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
 |
| SYST002-1 or an equivalent course on linear systems |
 |
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
 |
| a homework to hand out each week during the semester
+ one final project |
 |
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
