OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to teach the basic mathematical concepts about the modeling and analysis of physical systems and to teach how the mechatronic systems behave under different conditions. This course will be an introduction to automatic control course at the same time.
Contents of the Course Unit:	This course covers basic mathematics used in control systems (complex analysis, differential equations, Laplace transformation, matrix solutions), system model representations, modeling of mechanical systems, modeling of electrical, electronic and electromechanical systems, modeling of flow and thermal systems, block diagram representation of systems, system analysis and response.
