Basic course in control theory

Course material of basic control theory has been overviewed and updated recently at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics, BME. The paper describes shortly the contents and the teaching methods of the course. In the theoretical material the concept of the Youla parametrization has been introduced which gives a new insight into controller design. MATLAB exercises support understanding and interactively applying the theoretical knowledge. New lecture notes were written both for the theoretical material and for the MATLAB laboratory exercises. The course web-site provides the actual information and gives also additional learning materials.
