No particular prerequisites specified.
learning outcomes
After finishing the course, the students will be able to explore controllability and observability of both linear and nonlinear dynamic deterministic systems, analyze behavior of the systems with respect to their stability, input-output relation and work with systems respecting uncertainty. The students will also be familiar with basic methods of system identification and optimal control of both deterministic and stochastic systems.
