6.282J -- Quantitative Foundations of Engineering Systems
Course Description: This interdisciplinary subject aims to teach quantitative principles of design and analysis of large complex engineering systems at the beginning graduate level. Topics include principles of modeling, systems design, control and performance analysis using ideas from control, optimization, algorithms and stochastic processes. Designed as more conceptual and less technical (mathematical). That is, use of mathematics (sometimes sophisticated) is taught but the detailed proofs are usually omitted. Concepts supported and explained with examples drawn from the Internet. Provides the necessary background for advanced subjects on foundations of engineering systems.
