Systems and Control

Description

This course and its follow-on course ENG-SCI 156 concern the fundamentals of information systems in the real world. Together they provide a comprehensive foundation in signal processing, systems design and analysis, control, and communications, while also introducing key linear-algebraic concepts in the context of authentic applications. The first course, ENG-SCI 155, focuses on the basic principles of feedback and its use as a tool for inferring and/or altering the dynamics of systems under uncertainty. Topics include linear algebra, the elemental representations of dynamic systems, stability analysis, the design of estimators (e.g., Kalman Filter) and feedback controllers (e.g., PID and Optimal Controller). The class includes both the practical and theoretical aspects of the topic.
Recommended Prep: Applied math 21a, b or Math 21a, b or equivalent are encouraged to be taken concurrently but not required. Additional sections and materials of linear algebra will be provided in the course.
Course Requirements: Prerequisite: Math 1a and Math 1b
