No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1991–92 to 1994–95 (before that, 1972–73 to 1988–89 used the number for Hydraulic Systems and Topics in Physical Systems Theory); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

System modelling, simulation techniques for continuous and discrete systems; special purpose computer languages for systems simulation; examples and applications in a variety of areas.

As printed in the 1991–92 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.

Another title: Topics in Physical Systems Theory, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).

This course applies physical systems theory to problems where the physical process is continuously distributed throughout a medium. The course contents include introduction to field and continuum problems; overview of approximate solution methods - including the finite difference method and the finite element method; identification of field variables; spatial discretization; modelling the field characteristics; formulations and computer solutions; applications of multi-terminal representations.

1978–79 to 1981–82 4 calendars

Another title: Topics in Physical Systems Theory, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).

This course investigates the concepts and techniques used in hydraulic, power, communication and control systems. Established classical methods of analysis will be compared with recent graph-theoretic methods.

Another title: Hydraulic Systems, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).

Applications of systems theory to the analysis of hydraulic systems; particular emphasis is given to the analysis and design of fluid distribution systems.
