This video describes how to analyze fully nonlinear differential equations by analyzing the linearized dynamics near a fixed point. Most of our powerful solution techniques for ODEs are only valid for linear systems, so this is an important strategy for studying nonlinear systems.
This is a hugely important step towards analyzing nonlinear systems with linear techniques.

![AI/ML+Physics Part 5: Employing an Optimization Algorithm [Physics Informed Machine Learning]
This video discusses the fifth stage of the machine learning process: (5) selecting and implementing an optimization algorithm to train the model. There are opportunities to incorporate physics into this stage of the process, such as using constrained optimization to force a model onto a susbpace or submanifold characterized by a symmetry or other physical constraint.
