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.

The one-sided Z-transform is given by:
where z is a complex number.
The Z-transform has an associated region of convergence for z ,
which is determined by when the infinite sum converges.
The Z -transform has several applications. For example, it is
useful for solving difference equations.
Often X ( z ) is evaluated using an infinite sum.
