Course detail

Theory of Systems

FP-ItsPAcad. year: 2017/2018

In this course students will learn about the different possibilities of theoretical description of the systems and thein solutions. The system is understood as a set of elements, processes and relationships of technical, economic, social, real and abstract objects.System solution can be both continuou, discrete and discretized, linear, nonlinear, time-invariant or time-variant. Particular attention is paid to feedback systems (control and regulation systems). The students will learn also the basics of Matlab-Simulink.
