Abstract: In this minicourse we will delve into the intersection of dynamics and astrophysics, elcudating the instrumental role dynamics plays in resolving diverse astrophysical problems. Beginning with a general overview of the Solar System and understanding how planet form, we will cover general problems observed in extrasolar systems as consequence of their dynamic evolution. We will focus on resonant systems and how these specific configurations might help us understand the origins of planetary systems. The course will be divided into the "chronological" phases of planet formation: early stages when there was still gas in the propoplanetary disk, and for the long term evolution we will analyse the dissipative effects that the star produces on the planets as well as the interactions between the planets themselves. The goal is to have some basic techniques of solar system dynamics together with their application to actual problems, and have some analytical and numerical tools.
