This course is part of the
MasterMath program.
and has at the MasterMath website a
webpage.
The topic of the course is
control and system theory of positive systems.
The aim of the course is to provide an introduction to the
basic concepts and results of control and system theory.
Control and signal processing problems arise in engineering,
economics, and biology. Solution of such problems requires mathematical
models in the form of dynamic systems.
In distinction with other areas of mathematics,
a dynamic system describes the relation between an input and
an output signal in terms of the state.
The course is intended for master level mathematics students,
those in their fourth or fifth year of studies.
Students from biology and from economics are also
welcome because the topic uses models from
these areas.
Differential equations and linear algebra.
Knowledged of the course Systems and Control
(presented in the MasterMath program)
or equivalent is useful but not required.
Program of lectures.
-
Oral exam, unless there are very many students in which case
there will be a written exam.
-
Homeworksets with exercises.
Weekly homeworksets will be handed out in class every week.
Solutions to homeworksets are due at the lecturer one week after
they have been handed out but contact the lecturer
in case you cannot meet this due date.
-
The course grade is based for 50% on the exam
and for the other 50% on the solutions to homeworksets.
