No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1972–73 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Three types of linear multivariable systems are studied. 1. real time-continuous systems. 2. real time-discrete systems; and 3. modulo-two time-discrete systems. The unifying approach of state equations is developed and the importance of linear algebra is emphasized. Topics include: time domain analysis, transform analysis (Laplace- and Z-transforms), stability considerations, system equivalence, system decomposition, system realization. The necessary matrix and linear-algebra theory is developed as required.
As printed in the 1990–91 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
