+====== IAM 950: Spatiotemporal and turbulent dynamics ======
+MW 2:10-3:30pm Kingsbury N204
+Prof. John Gibson, Mathematics and Statistics\\

+**abstract:** This course examines the theory of bifurcations, pattern
+formation, and spatiotemporal chaos in systems governed
+by time-dependent nonlinear partial differential equations.
+We begin with comparatively well-developed theories
+and simple model systems (e.g. 1-dimensional nonlinear PDEs)
+and progresses by stages of increasing complexity to the
+culminating problem of coherent structures and turbulence
+in the Navier-Stokes equations. The goal is to give advanced
+graduate students the proper analytic and conceptual background
+for research in the dynamics of unstable spatio-temporal
+patterns in turbulent shear flows.
+====== News ======
+**3 Feb 2012:** {{:gibson:teaching:spring-2012:ks_cnab2.m}} Matlab source code for time-integration of Kuramoto-Sivashinksy eqn.
+**26 Jan 2012:** Please read the Introduction of Cross and Greenside for
+Monday 30 Jan. I have placed a few xeroxed copies place on the bookshelf outside my
+Kingsbury N309E. Please borrow for a few hours or overnight and return a.s.a.p.
+so that others have a chance to read. But also please order and purchase the book
+for use throughout the semester.
