The objective of this class is to understand mathematical models and their characteristics for a
simple single input and single output system. Modeling in the frequency and time domains is first
introduced and then the stability is discussed with some techniques. A simple PID control design for improving the performance
will be also covered. Finally, theoretical results will be illustrated with real experiments.

1. This class will be given in English
2. About 5 problem sets will be given to you as homework
assignment. Each contains about 10 problems. Late homework will be not accepted.
3. Reports will be required after real experiments.
