An undergraduate introduction to dynamical systems taught at the University of Maryland, covering iterated maps and the behavior of systems over time, including the route to chaos. It is associated with instructor James Yorke.

One commenter, a former student of Dr. Yorke, calls it by far their favorite course ever.

    Took Dr. Yorke’s undergraduate course on dynamical systems at Maryland. By far my favorite course ever. Interesting to note that the result discussed in this paper was independently discovered a few years earlier by Sharkovskii [1].
