The qualitative theory of differential equations is closely linked with the
study of vector fields. Already on the sphere / plane, one can see examples of
non-trivial behavior of solutions (phase curves of a vector field). Moreover, the
complexity of degeneracy ranges from simple cases that will be discussed in the
course, to open mathematical problems In the light of possible physical
applications and computer simulations, it is natural to consider not only the
behavior of individual orbits, but also the behavior of typical points in the
Lebesgue measure («random solutions»), and, accordingly, the attractors and
invariant measures that emerges in this case. The course is dedicated to this
area.
