| Course Description |
| Modeling, analysis, and design of continuous-time control systems using the state space approach. Vector spaces, linear operators, and linear equation solution theory are used to describe system solutions and their stability, controllability, and observability properties. State observers and state feedback control are developed, along with an introduction to linear-quadratic optimal control. Robustness to model uncertainty is addressed.

| 2 exams and one project 30% ea. homework 10% |
| Homework |
| Group work is encouraged, although individual understanding will be necessary to do well on exams and the project. Homework will be partially graded, and we will discuss soulutions in class. Full solutions will be posted. |
| Exams |
| Take home, involving both analysis and computation. Honor system applies. Make up exams must be arranged in advance (at least two weeks). |
