Helpful first

  • Functions
  • Basic physical models

What it builds

  • Capture system dynamics in a mathematical model.
  • Use feedback to correct deviations.
  • Change system dynamics and stability through control.

Useful moments

Check yourself: Why can a controller with feedback behave differently from a fixed command?
