This lecture note is written with a specific intention for the undergraduate course: Basic Control Systems in Shanghai Maritime University(上海海事大学). But I think it would be helpful to share this lecture note on my website such that a wider group of readers can benefit from this piece of work. If you have suggestions or found a mistake, you can discover my email address on the front page.
The main parts of this lecture note is written for students with some experience with undergraduate level calculus, ordinary differential equations, complex analysis, integral transform, Newtonian mechanics, circuit analysis. In case some terms sound unfamiliar, some supplementary sections will be compiled but that's of the low priority of my current work.
All sections in pdf format will be released here on this webpage.
Part 1| Introduction to fundamental concepts
Part 2| ODEs and Physical Systems
Part 3| Analyzing Transfer Functions
Part 4| Closed-loop Gains and PID Control
Part 5| Frequency Domain Analysis
------------
Recap: Calculus
Recap: Integral Transform
Recap: Complex Analysis
------------
