Systems and Control The core courses and specialization courses below are a selection for students who wish to specialize in the area of "Systems and Control", see https://www.ee.ethz.ch/studies/main-master/areas-of-specialisation.html. The individual study plan is subject to the tutor's approval.
Core Courses These core courses are particularly recommended for the field of "Systems and Control". You may choose core courses form other fields in agreement with your tutor. A minimum of 24 credits must be obtained from core courses during the MSc EEIT.
Advanced Core Courses
227-0225-00L	Linear System Theory	W	6 credits	5G	M. Kamgarpour
Abstract	The class is intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the theory of linear dynamical systems, stability analysis, and their use in control and estimation. The focus is on the mathematics behind the physical properties of these systems and on understanding and constructing proofs of properties of linear control systems.
Learning objective	Students should be able to apply the fundamental results in linear system theory to analyze and control linear dynamical systems.
Content	- Proof techniques and practices. - Linear spaces, normed linear spaces and Hilbert spaces. - Ordinary differential equations, existence and uniqueness of solutions. - Continuous and discrete-time, time-varying linear systems. Time domain solutions. Time invariant systems treated as a special case. - Controllability and observability, duality. Time invariant systems treated as a special case. - Stability and stabilization, observers, state and output feedback, separation principle.
Lecture notes	Available on the course Moodle platform.
Prerequisites / Notice	Sufficient mathematical maturity with special focus on logic, linear algebra, analysis.
