Control Notes

Resources > Control Notes

Below are links to some notes from a process dynamics and control course. This is not a complete set of notes but they may be useful at the start of a course. The references to Chau’s book in the notes refer to Chau, P. C., Process Control: A First Course with MATLAB. Cambridge University Press, 2002.
