Course content
Theory of automatic control of continuous linear/nonlinear systems. Basic types of controlled systems: description and dynamic properties, parameter estimation, stability, quality, conventional controllers and their optimal adjustment. Synthesis of optimal systems of automatic control, particularly for industrial applications.
