Brief description of content
The course gives an introductory theoretical and practical knowledge about behavior, modeling, and characterization of dynamic systems. Simplified overview of the required mathematical apparatus is covered. The characterization methods of linear systems (state-space equations, transfer functions) are studied; stablity, observability and controllability are discussed. Theory and practice of classical control methods (on-off control and PID control) are studied. Students wlll learn to analyze simpler control systems in practice.
