ESE 406/505-MEAM 513 : Control Systems Department of Electrical and Systems Engineering University of Pennsylvania
	Spring 2005

• Announcements :


• First class is on Tuesday January 11th 2005 in Towne 311 from 12:00-1:30pm.
• I will be out of town on Thursday January 13th, so there will be no course lecture. The TAs will give a Matlab tutorial instead. If you are familiar with Matlab, you don't have to come.


• Course Description: This course is an introduction to analysis and design of feedback control systems, including classical control theory in the time and frequency domain. Modeling of physical, biological and information systems using linear and nonlinear differential equations. Stability and performance of interconnected systems, including use of block diagrams, Bode plots, Nyquist criterion. Robustness and uncertainty management in feedback systems.
• Suggested pre-requisites: Basic course on ordinary differential equations and linear algebra. For systems engineering students, knowledge of ESE 210 (SYS 200) is required.
• Instructor:
• Ali Jadbabaie , jadbabai@seas.upenn.edu ,
  Office hours : Wednesdays 2:00-4:00pm, 365 GRW Moore bldg.
