Essay
In class we have seen three different ways to represent or model linear dynamical systems. Write a two thousand word essay on the relative importance of each of these representations in the design of feedback control systems. Discuss using practical examples, with at least one example of open-loop unstable system, how the cycle from modelling to control design is completed. The target audience for your essay are science graduates who can easily understand the physics and mathematics needed for modelling but they are unfamiliar with how these mathematical tools are used for the design of feedback controllers.
