BIG question: Why controller designed for a model would ever work with a real system?

Modeling and simulation are used to study systems. A system is defined as the collection of entities that make up the facility or process of interest. To facilitate experimentation and assessment of a system, …

Gradual release of responsibility is sometimes called ‘I do, we do, you do’ or ‘modelled, guided, independent practice’. It is a structured approach that gradually shifts responsibility from the teacher …

Whereas the goal of modelling is to meaningfully describe a system presenting information in an understandable, re-usable way, the aim of simulation is to be fast and accurate.

As a modeler, you will have to choose the type of model you want to use, build the model and choose the parameters. In this course, we have 3 sessions (today and Thursday) to enable you to think …

And as to the admirable modelling of these antique statues, why, there is nothing in the world so difficult as to render these learned simplifications and this exquisite delicacy.

To develop your modeling ability, I will present mathematical techniques and physical principles. This is material for you to learn. I will also focus on the more subtle art of making sensible physical and …
