Learning outcomes
After a brief summary on elementary concepts of linear algebra, complex analysis and of the Laplace/Z Transforms, the course will provide students with the fundamental tools for the modelling and analysis of (multivariable) dynamic systems and their structural properties. Basic tools of system theory will be introduced, and the design of advanced control schemes addressed.
