Here we explore the sensitivity and complementary sensitivity functions, which are critical in understanding robustness and performance.
See MoreDerivation of Rodrigues’ Rotation Formula
In this video we explain and derive Rodrigues’ Rotation Formula. This functions describes how to rotate an arbitrary vector about another arbitrary axis of rotation. This has applications to...
See MoreBode Plots of Complex Transfer Functions
In this video we discuss how to generate a bode plot of a complex transfer function by decomposing it into the individual components. We then show how one c...
