Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is the introduction of the theory and of some applications of continuous and discrete dynamical systems, that describe the time evolution of quantitative variables. At the end of the course a student will be able to investigate the stability and the character of an equilibrium and to produce and investigate the qualitative analysis of a system of ordinary differential equations and the phase portrait of a dynamical system in dimension 1 and 2. Moreover a student will be able to study the presence and the nature of limit cycles and to analyse some basic applications of dynamical systems arising from population dynamics, mechanics and traffic flows. Eventually a student will be also able to produce proofs using the typical tools of modern dynamical systems and will be able to read and report specific books and articles on dynamical systems and related applications.

Examination Methods
A written exam with exercises: phase portrait in 2D for a non-linear dynamical system; computation of trajectories and stability, first integrals, change of coordinates, bifurcations and hamiltonian systems.
The written exam tests the following learning outcomes:
- To have adequate analytical skills;
- To have adequate computational skills;
- To be able to translate problems from natural language to mathematical formulations;
- To be able to define and develop mathematical models for physics and natural sciences.
An oral exam with 3 theoretical questions. The oral exam is compulsory and must be completed within the session
in which the written part has been done.
The oral exam tests the following learning outcomes:
- To be able to present precise proofs and recognise them.
According to the pandemic situation the structure of the exam could vary.
