ME 243A/ ECE 230A - Linear Systems I

Course Description

This course will cover the basic tools of modern linear systems theory: stability, controllability, observability, realization theory, state feedback, state estimation, separation theorem, etc. The emphasis will be on state-space methods, though polynomial methods will also be briefly covered. Throughout the course, the connections between systems problems and the corresponding linear algebra concepts will be emphasized, including their MATLAB implementations.
