Time, stability, entropy and chaos. These are some of the key concepts that permeate the systems surrounding us. They occupy an important place in the study of many evolutionary phenomena and have always exerted a considerable attraction, engaging the interest of numerous scientific disciplines. In this context, mathematics plays an essential and unique role in observing, describing and understanding the fundamental mechanisms that explain and govern the dynamics of systems.

The Dynamical Systems Track of our Mathematics Master Degree aims to provide students with a solid foundation enabling them to interpret and master the numerous aspects and different configurations of the various theories involved. The teaching programme ranges from general to qualitative theory and from the study of entropy to algebraic, topological, ergodic and numerical aspects. Attention is also focused on the area of modelling as well as on applications which, given the importance and breadth of this discipline, may range from number theory to population dynamics, complex networks and control theory.

The core competences are acquired through curricular courses in the areas of logic, algebra, and mathematical and numerical analysis, complemented by laboratory activities, internships and theses, Erasmus exchanges and internship grants, also at international level. Finally, the Dynamical Systems Track prepares students for admission to PhD programmes in mathematical sectors, both theoretical and applied.
