The purpose of this course is to explore applications of tools from Control and Dynamical Systems to new problem domains. The course is organized around small teams consisting of CDS and non-CDS students who will work on projects of mutual interest in some faculty member's research area. Our main goals are for the participating CDS and science/engineering faculty to become more familiar with each other's work and expertise, and to get our graduate students interacting with one another. | |||

- Class meetings: Wednesdays, 3:30 pm, after the CDS tea, in 104 Watson
The purpose of this course is to explore applications of tools from Control and Dynamical Systems to new problem domains. The course is organized around small teams consisting of CDS and non-CDS students who will work on projects of mutual interest in some faculty member's research area. Our main goals are for the participating CDS and science/engineering faculty to become more familiar with each other's work and expertise, and to get our graduate students interacting with one another.
The output of the course will be a short paper of the sort that could be sent to a conference. The paper should consist of a short description of the problem under study and the relevant CDS tools, followed by a preliminary set of results and a description of next steps to be pursued.
Students with limited background in CDS methods may be interested in taking CDS 104, which is offered concurrently with CDS 273. This course is taught on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-3 pm in 102 Steele.
