We start this lecture series with some history of dynamical systems. We discuss the progression of the discipline from Newton, through to Poincare, and into the twentieth century. We also present some preliminaries that help to formalize the notation and the types of systems we are interested in. We show that we can also consider autonomous systems of equations. We further discuss the importance of nonlinearity and the frontier of high-dimensional systems that we will work towards a better understanding of.

This course is taught by Jason Bramburger for Concordia University.
