Lecture 2 | Introduction to Linear Dynamical Systems

Professor Stephen Boyd, of the Electrical Engineering department at Stanford University, lectures on linear functions for the course, Introduction to Linear Dynamical Systems (EE263).

Introduction to applied linear algebra and linear dynamical systems, with applications to circuits, signal processing, communications, and control systems. Topics include: Least-squares aproximations of over-determined equations and least-norm solutions of underdetermined equations. Symmetric matrices, matrix norm and singular value decomposition. Eigenvalues, left and right eigenvectors, and dynamical interpretation. Matrix exponential, stability, and asymptotic behavior. Multi-input multi-output systems, impulse and step matrices; convolution and transfer matrix descriptions.

Wow, 10 years ago I never thought I could afford to be in a a higher math class at Stanford. Thanks Guys, I really needed this for my sanity. There are smart people out here dying to learn but without the time or money to go to Stanford! This guy is really clear also.

That is why you have pause and rewind buttons.

Thanks prof. Boyd for a dedicated teaching style like this clas. It make a lot of inspiration of studing in control engineering to me.

Every department in every University should have a prof like Boyd...

I wish you guys would give out more vids! It's fun studyin this way , plus knowin that I'm studyin at stanford from miles away! Thank you soo much!

Thx so much, Dr. Boyd

The first one had much better video quality.

Fantastic. I've been looking for a way to review linear system dynamics for a controls class I'm taking in the fall. This looks absolutely perfect and I may indeed come out ahead in my understanding. Thanks Stanford!
