Course schedule/Required learning

  Course schedule Required learning
Class 1 Review and definition of basic operations Understand the notations and basic terminologies used such as the fundamental operations for vectors and matrices.
Class 2 Matrix operations and Cramer's Rule Review matrix operations such as determinants, permutations, inversions, transpositions. Be able to solve for minor of matrices, and cofactors.
Class 3 Eigen equations, matrix of functions and their operations and characteristics. Understand the use of Eigen equations, eigenvectors, and eigenvalues. Refresh on additional matrix operations and types, and matrix of functions.
Class 4 Complex sine waves and Bode plots Understand complex sine waves and its application to RL circuits. Bode plots will be introduced as a tool to examin frequency reponses of magnitude and phase of a system.
Class 5 Fourier series Understand the definition, properties, and importance of Fourier Series. Various forms of the Fouriers Series such as complex Fourier series and its truncated form will be taught to solve various functions (e.g. step function).
Class 6 Fourier Transform and Impulse Response Understand the Fourier transform, inverse Fourier transform, and impulse response.
Class 7 Laplace (Inverse) Transform, Initial and Final Value Theorem Understand and be able to solve the Laplace transform, inverse Laplace transform, and its difference with the Fourier transform. Partial fraction decomposition to solve the inverse Laplace Transform will be introduced.

Class 10 Block diagrams, transfer functions, and state-space solutions Learn how to construct and interpret a block diagram, solve state-space equations, and understand the concept of transfer functions.
Class 11 Control Theory Understand the basic concepts of classical and modern control theory.
Class 12 Minimal Realization, Similarity Transformations, and Stability Understand the concept of minimal realization, similarity transformations, and stability as tools to assess linear systems.
Class 13 Sampling theorem and discrete forms of Fourier and Laplace transforms Understand the concept of sampling theorem and the discrete forms of Fourier transform and Laplace transforms (Z-transform). Learn how to solve for the discrete (inverse) Fourier transform and (inverse) Z-transform.
Class 14 Sampling theorem and discrete forms of Fourier and Laplace transforms Understand the concept behind discrete state-space equations, its block diagram, and bilinear transformation.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
