Classical Control Theory

Classical Control Theory is a branch of engineering focused on designing systems that behave in desired ways through feedback. It involves analyzing how systems respond to inputs—like changing a thermostat to maintain a set temperature—and adjusting parameters to ensure stability, accuracy, and efficiency. By understanding relationships between inputs, outputs, and system dynamics, control theory helps create reliable, predictable systems such as autopilots, manufacturing processes, and electrical circuits, ensuring they perform as intended despite disturbances or uncertainties.
