  • Learning Outcomes
    Course Learning Outcomes
    In 2023 the topic of this course will be Chaos with applications.

    Systems that evolve in time according to deterministic rules are called deterministic dynamical systems. In nonlinear dynamical systems, irregular and complex behavior can emerge known as Chaos. Chaos is ubiquitous in many different areas such as physics, engineering, ecology and robotics. This course will introduce the students to different aspects of chaotic dynamics along with their application in different areas with the aid of computational tools. 

    Topics

    Topics covered in this course will include:

    - Fundamentals of nonlinear dynamical systems
    - Strange attractors
    - Lyaponav exponents
    - Basin of attraction
    - Multistability
    - Intermittency
    - Fractals
    - Hyperchaos
    - Transient chaos
    - Deterministic diffusion

    Learning Outcomes


    On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

    1. Demonstrate understanding of the key properties of chaotic dynamics
    2. Apply computational tools to evaluate different aspects of chaotic dynamics such as attractors in phase space, basins of attraction and Lyaponav exponents
    3. Appreciate and apply aspects of chaotic dynamics in different areas such as physics, biology, robotics and engineering
    4. Interpret and communicate key aspects of chaotic dynamics for various applications

    Assumed knowledge

    - Modelling with ODEs 
    - This course will require programming (MATLAB is recommended but students can use their preferred language).

  • Assessment

    The 最新糖心Vlog's policy on Assessment for Coursework Programs is based on the following four principles:

    1. Assessment must encourage and reinforce learning.
    2. Assessment must enable robust and fair judgements about student performance.
    3. Assessment practices must be fair and equitable to students and give them the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
    4. Assessment must maintain academic standards.

    Assessment Summary
    Component Weighting Objective Assessed
    Assignments  40% all
    Weekly quizzes 20% all
    Final project 40% all
    Assessment Related Requirements
    An aggregate score of at least 50% is required to pass the course.
    Assessment Detail
    There will be 4 Assignments and weekly quizzes during the semester, and Final report towards the end of Semester.
    Submission

  • Student Feedback

    The 最新糖心Vlog places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the 最新糖心Vlog to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Student Support
  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student鈥檚 disciplinary procedures.

The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
