Would someone mind telling me how this course differs from Ordinary Differential Equations and if it is a more advantageous and applied course?

MATH 4200 Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems (MQR)

Fall. 4 credits. Prerequisite: high level of performance in MATH 2210-2220, 2230-2240, 1920 and 2940, or permission of instructor.
Covers ordinary differential equations in one and higher dimensions: qualitative, analytic, and numerical methods. Emphasis is on differential equations as models and the implications of the theory for the behavior of the system being modeled and includes an introduction to bifurcations.

Thanks!
 
It's to do with the qualitative behavior of differential equations, with the qualitative behavior of dynamical systems (chaos, stability, bifurcation, period doubling). As a quant you don't need it, period.
 
Ok thanks.

I'm just setting up my schedule for Fall. I'm gonna be taking Real Analysis.. Should I be scared?
