Explore nonlinear systems through the example of a particle in a potential well in this 50-minute lecture from the Engineering Mathematics course at the University of Washington. Delve into Euler-Lagrange equations, vector fields, phase portraits, and damping effects. Access accompanying lecture notes and the course website for additional resources. Part of ME564 Lecture 10, taught by Steve Brunton.
