Paths approach from one direction but veer away in another. 3. Limit Cycles

Traditional methods focus on algebraic manipulation to find an explicit solution. However, most real-world systems (like weather or three-body problems) are non-solvable. The dynamical systems approach asks: Where does the system go eventually? Does it stay near a specific point? Does it repeat in a cycle? Is it sensitive to starting conditions (chaos)? 📍 Key Concepts in Dynamics 1. Phase Space and Portraits Phase space is a "map" of all possible states of a system.
