The nonlinear problems have played and will continue to play important roles in science and engineering. The main purpose of this course is to help graduate student in engineering and mechanics to have a good command of the basic concepts and methods in nonlinear dynamics. The main contents in this course includes : qualitative theory in dynamical system, chaos and its numerical recognition, bifurcation theory, and fractals。The presentation of a variety of methods and viewpoints can be used in the study of a fairly broad spectrum of nonlinear dynamical phenomena in science and engineering.
