=== 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;

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;
&#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;

&#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;

&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;

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;

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;

=== 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;

&#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;

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;
&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;

&#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;

=== 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;

&#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 and final projects. &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 grade will be determined based on homework sets and final projects. &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;FLOWS AND DECOMPOSITIONS OF GAMES: HARMONIC AND POTENTIAL GAMES&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pablo A. Parrilo (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tuesday, November 23, 2010&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Exact potential games are those where the preferences of the strategy&lt;br /&gt;
profiles of the different players are globally consistent, and therefore&lt;br /&gt;
the players&#039; payoffs can be aggregated through a joint function. In this&lt;br /&gt;
talk, we analyze the general situation where there are local or global&lt;br /&gt;
inconsistencies between the preferences of the different players. For&lt;br /&gt;
this, we introduce a natural decomposition of multiplayer games in terms&lt;br /&gt;
of potential and harmonic components. Besides its intrinsic interest,&lt;br /&gt;
this decomposition facilitates the study of equilibrium and convergence&lt;br /&gt;
properties of natural game dynamics. We discuss the implications for&lt;br /&gt;
cooperative control problems, pricing schemes, and efficiency loss, and&lt;br /&gt;
illustrate the results and techniques through an example of power&lt;br /&gt;
control in wireless networks. Joint work with Ozan Candogan, Ishai&lt;br /&gt;

=== Talk Abstract ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Some Applications of Distributed Estimation and Control&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raff D&#039;Andrea, ETHZ&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this talk I will discuss several applications of&lt;br /&gt;
distributed estimation and control:  Kiva Systems, a company&lt;br /&gt;
that uses hundreds of mobile robots to move inventory in&lt;br /&gt;
distribution facilities; the Balancing Cube, a structure that can &lt;br /&gt;
balance on any one of its edges or corners using six rotating &lt;br /&gt;
mechanisms on the cube&#039;s inner faces; the Distributed Flight Array, &lt;br /&gt;
a flying platform consisting of multiple autonomous single propeller vehicles&lt;br /&gt;
that are able to drive, dock with their peers, and fly in a coordinated fashion; &lt;br /&gt;
the Flying Machine Arena, a research-driven airspace where vehicles teach &lt;br /&gt;
themselves -- and each other -- how to fly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raffaello D&#039;Andrea is Professor of Dynamic Systems and Control&lt;br /&gt;
at ETH Zurich and Technical Co-Founder of Kiva Systems, a&lt;br /&gt;
company that develops adaptive and self-configuring warehouse&lt;br /&gt;
automation systems using hundreds of networked, mobile robots.&lt;br /&gt;
Also a creator of dynamic sculpture, he has shown his work at&lt;br /&gt;
international venues including the Venice Biennale, the&lt;br /&gt;
Luminato Festival, Ars Electronica, and ideaCity; two of his&lt;br /&gt;
pieces are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery&lt;br /&gt;
of Canada.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
