Description

Discrete dynamics is the study of quantities that change at discrete points in time, such as the size or genetic make-up of populations. Topics covered may include linear difference equations, the role of probability in discrete dynamical modelling, nonlinear difference equations, self-similarity and fractal geometry, systems of discrete equations. Examples will be drawn from diverse areas including biology and finance.
