Peter Ponders PID - Root Locus Is Useless

Root Locus is almost worthless. Knowing where the poles are as only 1 gain is changed is not very useful since one only has a limited choices on response. ... See More

Solving the Heat Equation with the Fourier Transform

This video describes how the Fourier Transform can be used to solve the heat equation. In fact, the Fourier transform is a change of coordinates into the eigenvector coordinates for the...
