Print Resources

We will have no required textbook.

Here are some books I like on the subject:

  1. Thomas Kailath, Linear Systems, Prentice Hall, 1980
  2. Robert E. Skelton, Dynamics Systems Control: linear systems analysis and synthesis, John Wiley & Sons, 1988
  3. João P. Hespanha, Linear Systems Theory, Princeton Press, 2009

Online Resources

You might find interesting information on the lecture notes that you can download below.

The Linear Systems chapter of the book Numerical Renaissance from Prof. Thomas Bewley is a good but sometime too compact reference. You can download the latest and greatest version of Tom's book from here.

For an undergraduate perspective of state-space models you can take a look at Chapter 5 of my undergraduate controls book that you can download here.

Bob Bitmead put together some notes on the subject that you can find here.

Exams

Your final grade will be the arithmetic average of Midterm and Final exams.

Homework

Homework will be assigned but not be graded. David will review homework on his Tuesday session.
