ECE 515/ME 540 (Control System Theory and Design) - Fall 2019
Course schedule
I've posted the tentative plans for the semester under Tentative schedule. As the semester progresses, I'll post my lecture notes under Realized schedule.
Realized schedule
Unless stated otherwise, the assigned readings will be from the course's lecture notes: T. Başar, S. P. Meyn, W. R. Perkins, Lecture Notes on Control System Theory and Design.
Supplementary reading material is from:
Disclaimer 1: These notes are uploads of what I write in class during lecture. The content inside may have typos, or sketch general intuitions instead of rigorous claims. The course reader is intended for the rigorous discourse and treatment.
Disclaimer 2: Again, these notes are uploads of what I write in class. Some notes in the margins may be in response to questions asked in class, and may not make sense in isolation.
