  Hysteresis can be defined from a dynamical systems perspective with respect
to equilibrium points. Consequently, hysteresis naturally lends itself as a
topic to illustrate and extend concepts in a dynamical systems course. A number
of examples exhibiting hysteresis, most motivated by applications, are
presented. Although the examples can be used to construct student exercises,
specific questions are listed in an appendix. A brief extension on hysteresis
in partial differential equations is also included.
