MAC-801 DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS AND ERGODIC THEORY
Credit Hours: 3
Specific Objective of the Course:
The course will provide an introduction to subject of dynamical systems, from a pure-
mathematical point of view. The first part of the course will be driven by examples so that
students will become familiar with various basic models of dynamical systems. We will then
develop the mathematical background and the main concepts in topological dynamics, symbolic
dynamics and ergodic theory.
Dynamical systems are an exciting and very active field in pure and applied mathematics, which
involves tools and techniques from many areas such as analyses, geometry and number theory. A
dynamical system can be obtained by iterating a function or letting evolve in time the solution of
equation. Even if the rule of evolution is deterministic, the long term behavior of the system is
often chaotic. Different branches of dynamical systems, in particular ergodic theory, provide
tools to quantify this chaotic behaviour and predict it in average. At the beginning of this lecture
course we will give a strong emphasis on presenting many fundamental examples of dynamical
systems, such as circle rotations, the baker map on the square and the continued fraction map.
Driven by the examples, we will introduce some of the phenomena and main concepts which one
is interested in studying. In the second part of the course, we will formalize these concepts and
cover the basic definitions and some fundamental theorems and results in topological dynamics,
in symbolic dynamics and in particular in ergodic theory. We will give full proofs of some of the
main theorems. During the course we will also mention some applications both to other areas of
mathematics, such as number theory, and to very concrete problems as data storage and Internet
search engines.
Course Outlines:
Basic notions: dynamical system, orbits, fixed points and fundamental questions;
Basic examples of dynamical systems: circle rotations; expanding maps of the circle and the shift
map; the Baker‟s map; the CAT map and toralautomorphisms; the Gauss transformation and
Continued Fractions. Topological Dynamics: basic metric spaces notions, transitivity,
minimality; topological conjugacy; topological mixing; topological entropy. Symbolic
Dynamics: Shift and Subshifts spaces, topological dynamical properties of shift spaces, symbolic
coding, coding of the CAT map. Ergodic Theory: basic measure theory notions; invariant
measures, Poincare recurrence, ergodicity using Fourier series, mixing, ergodic theorems
(Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem, ergodic theorem for Markov chains); applications to Internet Search

MAC-802 NUMERICAL METHODS
Credit Hours: 3
Specific Objective of the Course:
Problems in linear algebra arise in a wide variety of scientific and engineering applications
including the design of structures, the analysis of electrical networks, and the modeling of
chemical processes. This course will cover the analysis and implementation of algorithms used to
solve linear algebra problems in practice. We will study algorithms for linear systems solution,
linear least-squares problems, and eigenvalue and singular value problems. We will develop
numerical algorithms for these four main-stream problems. The quality of a numerical algorithm
is often judged based on two criteria namely efficiency (vaguely speaking number of arithmetic
operations required) and accuracy. We will analyze the accuracy and efficiency of the numerical
algorithms developed. We will also examine issues of problem sensitivity and algorithmic
stability and ways to improve efficiency by taking advantage of special matrix structures.
In each case, we will also study the computational tools underlying the algorithm (generally,
techniques for matrix factorization and for introducing zeros into a matrix). Emphasis will be on
dense linear algebra although we will introduce sparse linear algebra as class interest and time
permit.
Course Outline: This is a general outline of the material we will cover (not necessarily in this
order). It is subject to change according to time and class interests.

MAC-902 ADVANCE OPTIMIZATION THEORY
Credit Hours: 3
Specific Objective of the Course:
Optimization is central to any problem involving decision making, whether in engineering or in
economics. The task of making entails choosing between various alternatives. This choice is
governed by our desire to make the best decision. The measure of goodness of the alternatives is
described by an objective function or performance index. Optimization theory and methods deal
with selecting the best alternative in the sense of the objective function. The area of optimization
has received enormous attention in recent years, primarily because of rapid progress in computer
technology, including the development and availability of user friendly software, high speed and
parallel processors, and artificial neural networks.
