=== What is the main purpose of this course? ===
  +
Linear Control Theory is both an active tool for modern industrial engineering and a prerequisite for most of the state-of-the-art level control techniques and the corresponding courses. With this in mind, the Linear Control course is both building a foundation for the following development of the student as a learner in the fields of Robotics, Control, Nonlinear Dynamics and others, as well as it is one of the essential practical courses in the engineering curricula.
This is an introductory course in analytical geometry and linear algebra. After having studied the course, students get to know fundamental principles of vector algebra and its applications in solving various geometry problems, different types of equations of lines and planes, conics and quadric surfaces, transformations in the plane and in the space. An introduction on matrices and determinants as a fundamental knowledge of linear algebra is also provided.
