Dynamical Systems I. 3 credits

Catalog description

Introduces modeling of dynamical systems. Both Discrete-time and continuous-time systems. Linear and nonlinear systems that includes exponential and polynomial models. Introduction to first order and second order models of systems using both difference equations and ordinary differential equations. Formulation of mathematical models from system descriptions, including biological, financial, and mechanical systems – both translational and rotational models of rigid and deformable objects. Block diagrams and state variable models. Analytical and numerical methods for solving models and studying their behavior. Offered by Systems Engr & Operations Rsch . Limited to two attempts.
