Everyone is welcome, and we hope to see you there!  Abstract: A dynamical system describes how something changes over time, and certainly in biology, physics, chemistry, etc., there are many examples of dynamical systems that can be modeled using mathematical equations. The modern field of dynamical systems focuses on qualitative rather than quantitative questions about the behavior of the system over time. Instead of trying to find an explicit solution of a system of equations (which may be impossible to do!), geometric tools and analysis are used to inform predictions. I’ll first give an overview of dynamical systems concepts, and then we’ll move on to ...
