Abstract

A course on nonlinear dynamics is taught for freshmen in Shanghai University. Focusing on the scientifi c concepts of chaos, fractals and bifurcation, the course helps students to understand diversity, uncertainty and unpredictability in the real world. The paper surveys the technical contents of the course and highlights its pedagogical features. Student feedback is also reported.
