Lecture topics are related to the text sections. In each section additional topics not in the textbook (e.g. GTM related concepts and techniques) may be presented in the lectures. Suggested problems are listed. References are to Karnopp et al, Systems Dynamics, 4th Edition, 2006. NOTE: You should select for yourself as many exercises from the text you need in order to feel confident with the techniques taught. Links to solutions will be provided for at least some of the problems. | ||||||
