Overall a great course. You learn about multivariable, optimal control in the form of LQR, Observer control, and some H2 Optimal control. Prof. Iwasaki is a wonderful lecturer, and really great at answering student questions. If you're going into aerospace flight control like I am (or controls in general), this course is a must. Taking this course helped me immensely at my GNC Internship I had the following summer (I'm writing this review a bit late).

The material can be a bit challenging, but is really satisfying to learn. Prof. Iwasaki does a good job linking the mathematics to real world concepts, and you walk out of the class feeling like you can control real, multi-variable systems! The project is also pretty fun to do, though a little bit time consuming as expected.

This year, the final was a take-home exam, so that made it a bit more manageable towards the end of the quarter.
