Summary
Subject introduces to basic terms of system theory and system applications. Methods and tools for system identification are discussed. Students will gain a basic overview of the mathematical description, properties and behaviour of static and dynamic systems (graph theory - code description of matrix systems, CPM method, Laplace transform, static and dynamic characteristics).
In practice students are introduced to Boolean algebra of logic basis, methods of mathematical description, minimisation and modelling of logic systems.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Student will be able to formulate the basic terms of system theory and system applications.
Student will be able to identify characteristics and behaviour of static a dynamic systems.
Student will be able to analyze problems of mathematical description and behaviour of static a dynamic systems.
