Q: What course do you take to learn control theory?

A:

First of all you need to know differential equations. From that you can move to Laplace Transform and Z transform. That is the math you need for basic control theory.

Regarding the courses during my BSc and my MSc I have attended multiple courses:

• Systems theory :useful to understand the basics of how a dynamical system works
• Automatic control: basics of control theory (loop-shaping, disturbances rejection, sensors, PID, nyquist, root locus, and many other things)
• Digital control: how to deal with discrete systems or continuous systems being sampled
• Discrete event systems : how to model the dynamics of a discrete event systems (such as a manufacturing line)

A shepherd is looking after his herd when suddenly a young man in a sports car stops by. The young man asks the shepherd, “If I can guess how many sheep you have, can I keep one of them?” The shepherd agrees. The young man starts running calculations using the latest and greatest technology. “You have 280 sheep,” he says.

The shepherd sighs and tells the young man, “If I guess what your profession is, can I get my sheep back?” The young man agrees. “You are a consultant,” he says. Surprised, the young man asks, “How did you know!” “Well, you are charging me a steep price, you are telling me something I already know, and obviously you know nothing about my business because you are taking away my dog!”
