Learning outcomes	The objectives of the course are: (i) to understand the basic concepts of one-dimensional and two-dimensional dynamical systems in both discrete and continuous time; (ii) to use tools from this theory to analyse the qualitative behaviour of dynamical systems; (iii) to recognise and study some classical examples of one-dimensional and two-dimensional dynamical systems; (iv) to analyse and understand mathematical proofs in the context of dynamical systems theory; (v) to apply concepts and results from this theory in the modelling of phenomena described by dynamical systems; (vi) to communicate, both orally and in writing, using appropriate mathematical language.
