Highlights of this Course

This course introduces students to many aspects of state-space methods. These include control system analysis and synthesis, representation of dynamic systems, controller design, performance and robustness. Course materials on the site include a complete set of lecture notes and assignments.

Course Description

The goal of this subject is to teach the fundamentals of control design and analysis using state-space methods. This includes both the practical and theoretical aspects of the topic. By the end of the course, students should be able to design controllers using state-space methods and evaluate whether these controllers are "robust," that is, if they are likely to work well in practice.
