Multimedia material for teaching and e-learning in Nonlinear Dynamics and Power Electronics

Using information technologies (IT), multimedia, animated figures and interactive simulations, the teachers can enlighten, clarify much more than by non-animated figures, usual text and speech. Within the frame of a European Union program a multimedia software was developed for supporting the education of Electrical Engineering at Universities and within this general program the teaching of Nonlinear Dynamics, Power Electronics and Motion Control. They are, of course only a small section of the whole program. The current paper gives a brief account of the work from the field Nonlinear Dynamics and Power Electronics covering only a few interactive animated screens about Manifolds, Bifurcations and a few examples from Power Electronics. They were selected to show how the animated figures can help both the students and the teachers to understand and make the students comprehend the rather complicated, sophisticated concepts.
