Course Description
The major themes of this course are estimation and control of dynamic
systems. Preliminary topics begin with reviews of probability and
random variables. Next, classical and state-space descriptions of
random processes and their propagation through linear systems are
introduced, followed by frequency domain design of filters and
compensators. From there, the Kalman filter is employed to estimate the
states of dynamic systems. Concluding topics include conditions for
stability of the filter equations.
