Todays topics: Derivation of an ¡­

Todays topics: Derivation of an explicit solution formula for logistic and similar differential equations, bifurcation theory for differential equations (saddle-node, transcritical, and pitchfork bifurcations), systems of differential equations, and linear stability analysis for systems.

Next time we will continue with stability analysis of steady states for systems, applying it to the evolutionary example on page 16 in the book.

The lectures on Monday and Wednesday next week will be given by Nils Henrik Risebro.

NOTE: The mandatory assignment will most likely be handed out on Monday February 25. The deadline is Thursday March 7.
