=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Policies:===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Policies:===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are union of two parts: cyber part and physical part. The cyber part includes computational-related objects including both software and hardware. The physical part includes physical objects described by physical laws. The integration of these two parts, termed CPS, forms complex systems providing new capabilities. Although the 20th-century science and technology have provided us with effective methods and tools for analyzing and designing both computational and physical systems, the design and analysis of CPS are not just union of those two fields. Hence, we need a unified framework to design and analyze CPS. Finite state models were proposed by several researchers as a convenient mechanism to design and analyze CPS. In this talk we show how differential equations models for any smooth control systems can be transformed into finite state models.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

In this talk we show how differential equations models for any smooth control systems can be transformed into finite state models.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Lecture notes:&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Collaboration Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Grading Policy&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final grades will be evaluated based on homework assignments (5*12%=60%), final projects (30%), and participation in class (10%). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Late Homework&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Each student is allowed one &#039;&#039;late day&#039;&#039; which means only one homework assignment may be handed in up to one day late. Other than this day, late homework will not be accepted. Exceptional circumstances (such as medical situations) with appropriate documentation will be considered by the instructors.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;

A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text.

However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A skeleton file for the lecture notes will be posted the night before each lecture and it will mainly include figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reﬂect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed. &lt;br /&gt;

=== Course Description ===&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;CDS 140b is a continuation of CDS 140a&#039;&#039;&#039;. A large part of the course will focus on tools from nonlinear dynamics, such as the existence of periodic orbits, bifurcation theory, perturbation theory and averaging, advanced stability analysis, chaos, etc. In addition, guest lecturers will give an introduction to current research topics in dynamical systems theory. There will be five homeworks throughout the semester but no exams. Instead, the students are required to select a research topic and a journal paper related to CD140b and present a brief review of the paper. The details of the projects will be discussed in the class.&lt;br /&gt;
