Nonlinear dynamical systems theory are discussed in the context of mechanics, engineering and biological problems. Concepts such as stability, bifurcations, limit cycles and chaos are illustrated using simple analytic theories as well as practical examples. Emphasis are placed on developing intuition using analytic approaches and simple numerical calculations. The course is appropriate for graduate students with foundational knowledge of solid and fluid mechanics, and some notions of statistical mechanics and biological concepts.
