Course Overview: The aim of a control system is to influence the system's behavior to achieve a desired performance. Many control systems can be described by a linear model for which there are well developed analysis and synthesis tools. The focus will be on linear time invariant lumped systems which are described either by state space equations or rational transfer functions. Different analysis and design techniques will be discussed. The course will discuss both the continuous and discrete time systems.
