Dynamics and Control

This is an interactive course about the basic concepts of Systems, Control and their impact on all human activities. First, the basic concepts of systems, dynamics, structure, and control are introduced. Then, looking at many examples in Nature and human-made devices, we will realize that the dynamic behavior of most systems can be modified by adding a control system. Later we will see how knowing how to evaluate the dynamic behavior of a system and measure its performance will provide the tools to design new controlled systems fulfilling some requirements – Pedro Albertos, Universitat Politècnica de Valencia
