There
are two new ones.
ÒYou will all have to choose one

continue in Bender É
Or
choose areas (like Catastrophy theory, game theory, theory of _______) to read
and report about.
Or
find models in research articles and report on those?

Systems whose state x is characterized by the minimum of a function f(x,u), where u is the control.
