Control System Theory

Control System Theory is a branch of engineering and mathematics that deals with the behavior of dynamic systems. It focuses on how to influence the output of a system to achieve desired results by adjusting inputs. For example, in a car, the accelerator and brakes control speed. The theory involves feedback mechanisms, where the system monitors its output and makes adjustments as needed, ensuring stability and performance. Applications range from everyday appliances to complex industrial processes and robotics, making it essential for designing systems that respond effectively to changing conditions.
