Optimal Control and Estimation is a graduate course that presents the theory and application of optimization, probabilistic modeling, and stochastic control to dynamic systems. Particular attention is given to modeling dynamic systems, measuring and controlling their behavior, and developing strategies for future courses of action.

Twenty-four 80-minute seminars are held during the term (see Syllabus). The slides used at the seminars are presented here.
