Fixed points (equilibria) occur where the rate of change is zero. Nearby paths move toward the point. Repellers (Sources): Nearby paths move away.

💡 By treating differential equations as geometric objects, we can predict the future of a system even when we can't solve the math behind it.

A bifurcation occurs when a small change in a system's parameter (like temperature or friction) causes a sudden qualitative change in behavior, such as a stable point suddenly becoming unstable. 🚀 Real-World Applications Differential Equations: A Dynamical Systems App...

. The dynamical systems approach shifts the focus from solving equations exactly to understanding the long-term behavior and geometry of the system. 🌀 The Shift: Solutions vs. Behavior
