He studied
physics at the
University of São Paulo, in
São Paulo, from 1960 to 1964, and also at the
University of Naples, in
Naples,
Italy (1970–71). From 1966 to 1968 he specialized in
theoretical physics at the
University of Pisa (
relativity theory), in
mathematical physics at the
University of Munich, in
Munich,
Germany (1968–1969) and in
dynamic systems
In mathematics, a dynamical system is a system in which a function describes the time dependence of a point in an ambient space. Examples include the mathematical models that describe the swinging of a clock pendulum, the flow of water in a p ...
