Introduction to Control Systems for Engineers

An Introduction to BOTH classical and modern control with MATLAB.

This course covers everything an Introduction to Controls Course should cover and much more. I will clearly explain to you control systems from the most basic ideas to where we currently are in research. I cover a huge range of topics including: system response, root-locus, bode plots, nyquist, state-space, digital control, optimal control. I use MATLAB in the course to help you learn!

Requirements

  • In order to fully appreciate this class, you should have a background of dynamics and differential equations. But even with just some knowledge of physics you will do OK..
