This is a fundamental first-year graduate course on the modern theory
of dynamical systems and control. It builds on an introductory
undergraduate course in control (such as ECE 486) and emphasizes
state-space techniques for the analysis of dynamical systems and the
synthesis of control laws meeting given design specifications. Some
familiarity
with linear algebra, as well as ordinary differential equations, is
strongly recommended, although the necessary material will be reviewed in
the context of the course.
