Aim, Scope, and Topic course

The aim of the course is to provide an introduction for mathematically interested students to control and system theory for deterministic dynamic systems. Both linear and nonlinear dynamic systems in finite-dimensional vector spaces will be treated in an integrated manner. Concepts and theorems of control and system theory are used for control and signal processing problems which arise in engineering, physics, biology, economics, and mathematical finance.


Prerequisites

Knowledge of linear algebra and differential equations is recommended. Knowledge of the course Mathematical System Theory (WD031) or equivalent is useful but not required.
