Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems

Spring 2013



Did you like this course?

Do you like working with differential equations?

Then a natural next step is to take TMA4305 Partial Differential Equations.

For stochastic differential equations try MA8109 Stochastic processes in systems theory
(PhD course fall 2013 - ok for 4th year students)
