应数学与统计学院邀请，法国巴黎第六大学Jean-Pierre Francoise教授近日对数学与统计学院进行访问并为数学试验班学生进行专题授课。

        10月27日下午Jean-Pierre教授为数学试验班11级、12级全部学生第一次授课，北京大学李承治老师、学院朱旭老师及部分青年教师、研究生参加了听课。

        Jean-Pierre教授讲授的专题课程为“Nonlinear Dynamics and Models”，为期两周。

        Abstract: Nonlinear dynamics is developed in three different directions. Geometric qualitative theory of phase portraits, analysis (normal form, averaging, perturbative approach, asymptotics) and numerical simulations. This course is of basic level for undergraduate students who followed fundamental courses of linear algebra, differential calculus, topology and provides them an introduction to nonlinear dynamics. Nonlinear dynamics applications are ubiquitous in many sciences including physics,mechanics, biology and economics. In return, this field has received important feedback from modeling. We also include in this course presentations of such models.

       个人介绍:
        Jean-Pierre Francoise is currently Professor of Mathematics at the UPMC-Paris 6 and member of the Laboratory J.-L. Lions, UMR Paris 6-CNRS n°7598. He graduated at the University of Grenoble both in Physics and in Mathematics. He entered the CNRS in 1977 and received his PhD in 1980. In 1984, he was invited at Berkeley as a visiting assistant professor. He participated via several visiting in American and Canadian universities to the development of applied dynamical systems. In 1990, he was named professor of Mathematics at the UPMC. In 1993, he discovered techniques to push bifurcation theory to higher order.
