Homework problems in this course are broken into three types and marked by the following symbols:
-- Mandatory problems that should be accessible to all students.
-- Optional problems that are somewhat harder. We strongly suggest that you work through these problems; completing them will give you greater insight into the topics at hand. Please discuss them and their results on the forum.
-- Challenging problems that are intended for experts. These are optional; not all students will be able to complete them. Again, feel free to discuss them on the forum.
In the first set of questions, you will use delay-coordinate embedding to reconstruct the dynamics from the time-series dataset called amplitude.dat which can be downloaded from:
