Abstract
Normal Form Theory helps to simplify linear and nonlinear dynamical systems by reducing the number of terms in the equations and by introducing a symmetry in the system. It is demonstrated, how this Normal Form reduction is applied depending on the properties of the Jordan Normal Form for the linearized system.
