Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

The course is an introduction to Fractals and structures that have self-similarity under scale change. The objectives of the course are:

  • Acquiring the theoretical background from the postgraduate student on topics related to Fractals.
  • Obtaining the background from the student in analytical and computational methods to solve problems related to the Fractals.
  • Understanding basic concepts of Fractals and extending to applications and nature.

Upon completion of the course the postgraduate student will be able to use analytical and computational techniques to study problems related to Fractals and to further deepen their understanding.

General Competences

The course aims to enable the postgraduate student to:

  • Develop the ability to analyse and synthesise basic knowledge of Fractals.
  • Adapt to new situations
  • Decision-making
  • Working independently
  • Team work

All the above will give the students the opportunity to work in an international multidisciplinary environment.

Syllabus

Self-similarity under scale change, Fractal sets, Hausdorff dimension, Mandelbrot and Julia sets, Affine transformations in Euclidean space, Transformations in metric spaces, Theorem of contraction of images, Fractal construction, Collage theorem, Applications of Fractal sets. The course includes training in computational methods in the computer laboratory (Applied and Computational Mathematics Lab).
