Linear Dynamical Systems

Linear system is the cornerstone of control theory and a prerequisite subject for almost all advanced level graduate courses in this area. The aim of this course is to take a beginning student, with some prior exposure to elementary transform and linear algebra, through a motivated and integrated development of the fuller perspective of the linear system theory. This course will also strengthen the basic logical arguments behind mathematical proofs.<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->INTENDED AUDIENCE :UG, PG Students and Industry Personnel.RE-REQUISITES : UG control systems, basics of linear algebraSUPPORT INDUSTRY :Robotics/Mechatronics (e.g. ABB),Automation Sector (e.g. Honeywell Automation, Robert Bosch Ltd.), ProcessIndustries (e.g. ACC Ltd.)
