[For the entire collection see Zbl 0752.00058.] The main goal of the paper is to analyze qualitatively and quantitatively the large time dynamical behaviour of dissipative systems. Notions like attractors, pitchfork, saddle node and Hopf bifurcations are introduced and exemplified. The period doubling road to chaos is also studied. The chaotic dynamics is described in terms of sensitive dependence to initial conditions, strange attractors, Lyapunov exponents, metric and topological entropy. The basic tools in analyzing experimental signals are also presented. Many of the ideas, results and techniques presented in the paper apply as well to the study of conservative systems.
