Mathematics Master  | ||||||
 Core CoursesFor the Master's degree in Applied Mathematics the following additional condition (not manifest in myStudies) must be obeyed: At least 15 of the required 28 credits from core courses and electives must be acquired in areas of applied mathematics and further application-oriented fields. | ||||||
| Bachelor Core Courses: Pure Mathematics Further restrictions apply, but in particular: 401-3531-00L Differential Geometry I can only be recognised for the Master Programme if 401-3532-00L Differential Geometry II has not been recognised for the Bachelor Programme. Analogously for: 401-3461-00L Functional Analysis I - 401-3462-00L Functional Analysis II 401-3001-61L Algebraic Topology I - 401-3002-12L Algebraic Topology II 401-3132-00L Commutative Algebra - 401-3146-12L Algebraic Geometry For the category assignment take contact with the Study Administration Office (www.math.ethz.ch/studiensekretariat) after having received the credits. | ||||||

| 401-3371-00L | Dynamical Systems I | W | 10 credits | 4V + 1U | W. Merry | |
| Abstract | This course is a broad introduction to dynamical systems. Topic covered include topological dynamics, ergodic theory and low-dimensional dynamics. | |||||
| Learning objective | Mastery of the basic methods and principal themes of some aspects of dynamical systems. | |||||
| Content | Topics covered include: 1. Topological dynamics (transitivity, attractors, chaos, structural stability) 2. Ergodic theory (Poincare recurrence theorem, Birkhoff ergodic theorem, existence of invariant measures) 3. Low-dimensional dynamics (Poincare rotation number, dynamical systems on [0,1]) | |||||
| Literature | The most relevant textbook for this course is Introduction to Dynamical Systems, Brin and Stuck, CUP, 2002. I will also produce full lecture notes, available from my website https://www.merry.io/teaching/ | |||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | The material of the basic courses of the first two years of the program at ETH is assumed. In particular, you should be familiar with metric spaces and elementary measure theory. | |||||
