UW ME 547 Linear Systems

Introduction

ME547 is a first-year graduate course on modern control systems focusing on: state-space description of dynamic systems, linear algebra for controls, solutions of state-space systems, discrete-time models, stability, controllability and observability, state-feedback control, observers, observer state feedback controls, and when time allows, linear quadratic optimal controls. ME547 is a prerequisite to most advanced graduate control courses in the UW ME department.
