Module I
State space representation of dynamic systems : physical notion of system state, block diagram representations. Lagrang's equations - examples. Transformation of state variables, solution of differential equations in state space form, interpretation and properties of the state transition matrix, solution by the Laplace transform, the resolvent, transfer function from state model, state space representations of transfer functions.

Module II
State space modelling of systems : Inverted pendulum on a cart, Temperature control - two capacitance system, spring coupled masses, distillation column, instrument servo, missile guidance dynamics. Controllability and Observability : Physical interpretation, Kalman's and Gilbert's tests, Effect of pole - zero cancellation, detectability and stabilisability.

Module III
Shaping the dynamic response - Design of regulators for single input single output systems, Bass- gura pole placement formula, Multiple input systems, disturbances and tracking systems: exogenous variables. Linear observers : Need of observers, structure and properties of observers, pole placement for single output systems. Introduction to MATLAB - MATLAB functions - m - files- analysis and design of control systems using MATLAB, Simulink - construction and analysis of simple models - modelling of systems given in module II
