This course presents mathematical methods of describing systems, with a focus on linear negative feedback control systems. Topics covered typically include signals and systems, Laplace and Fourier transforms, block diagrams, transfer functions, time-domain modeling, and error and stability analysis. Work is done analytically and numerically with examples from computer, electrical, and aerospace engineering, communications, and mechatronics. Additionally, students are introduced to the implementation of feedback control in embedded systems.
