Linear Systems Theory

By Prof. Ramkrishna Pasumarthy | IIT Madras

Learners enrolled: 1026 | Exam registration: 30

ABOUT THE COURSE :

This course will provide a thorough introduction to the theory of Linear Systems with emphasis on Control related concepts. First, mathematical models describing the fundamental properties that govern the behavior of systems will be developed. We will cover time invariant, time varying, continuous and discrete time systems. This course will cover concepts of stability, controllability, observability, design and serve as necessary foundation for further study in the area of systems and control.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Graduate Students from Electrical/ Mechanical/ Aerospace / Chemical Engineering PREREQUISITES: 1) Linear Algebra 2) Differential Equations 3) Control Systems Engineering

Registration url: Announcements will be made when the registration form is open for registrations.
The online registration form has to be filled and the certification exam fee needs to be paid. More details will be made available when the exam registration form is published. If there are any changes, it will be mentioned then.
Please check the form for more details on the cities where the exams will be held, the conditions you agree to when you fill the form etc.

CRITERIA TO GET A CERTIFICATE

Average assignment score = 25% of average of best 8 assignments out of the total 12 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100

Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score

YOU WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CERTIFICATE ONLY IF AVERAGE ASSIGNMENT SCORE >=10/25 AND EXAM SCORE >= 30/75. If one of the 2 criteria is not met, you will not get the certificate even if the Final score >= 40/100.

Certificate will have your name, photograph and the score in the final exam with the breakup.It will have the logos of NPTEL and IIT Madras .It will be e-verifiable at nptel.ac.in/noc.

Only the e-certificate will be made available. Hard copies will not be dispatched.

Once again, thanks for your interest in our online courses and certification. Happy learning.
