New material will be covered in depth in the class, but a strong background will be necessary. Solid background in control design is best to fully understand this material, but not essential. Course material and homework assume a good working knowledge of MATLAB. Policies You are encouraged to discuss the homework and problem sets. However, your submitted work must be your own. Late homework will not be accepted unless prior approval is obtained from Professor How. Grade on all late homework will be reduced 25% per day. No homework will be accepted for credit after the solutions have been handed out. Courses About Donate Featured Sites
