The objective of this course is to introduce the students to the basic methods of system theory. Both continuous and discrete time linear systems will be covered. The concepts of stability, controllability and observability are taught. In addition, the design of controllers and observers is discussed.

Review of Linear Algebra
Updated 2 October 2016 (^1)
A linear equation in n variables is such that:
a i : real-number coefficients x i : variables needed to be solved for b : real-number constant term a 1 : leading coefficient x 1 : leading variable Notes: (1) Linear equations have no products or roots of variables and no variables involved in trigonometric, exponential, or logarithmic functions (2) Variables appear only to the first power

Example 1: Linear or Nonlinear
(a) 3 x + 2 y = 7 (b) 1 2 2
(c) x 1 (^) − 2 x 2 (^) + 10 x 3 (^) + x 4 = 0 (d) (sin ) 1 4 2 2 2
(e) xy + z = 2 (f)^ e^ x −^2 y =^4

A solution of a system of linear equations is a sequence of numbers s 1 , s 2 ,…, s (^) n that can solve each linear equation in the above system.

No solution –2 x + y = 3 –4 x + 2 y = 2 Lines are parallel. No point of intersection. No solutions.
Unique solution x + y = 5 2 x - y = 4 Lines intersect at (3, 2) Unique solution: x = 3, y = 2.

Example 6: Using back substitution to solve the following system
y
x y
Solution: By substituting y =−^2 into Eq. (1), you obtain
x − 2( 2)− = 5 ⇒ x = 1
called equivalent if they have precisely the same solution set
Notes: Each of the following operations on a system of linear equations produces an equivalent system
O1: Interchange two equations O2: Multiply an equation by a nonzero constant O3: Add a multiple of an equation to another equation Gaussian elimination: A procedure to rewrite a system of linear equations in row- echelon form by using the above three operations
Example 8: Solve a system of linear equations (consistent system)
