    Math 134 is based on Prof. Strogaz's Dynamical System and Chaos class. You can go to Youtube to view the entire course. Math 134 is only going to cover some of the topics. Overall the course is good and interesting to learn. Read the textbook will help a lot.

    This is one of the easiest upper division math classes I've taken. I loved taking this class with Professor Gannon. He's super chill and is a clear lecturer. The content of this class is really useful for Math 142 and other differential equations-based classes.
