System concept having great importannce in engineering sciences is studied in two titles as linear systems and nonlinear systems. Although systems in nature generally exhibit nonlinear behavior, since they can be linearized under some conditions and for some regions by some approximations, theory of linear systems have great importance. In this manner, nonlinear systems frequently observed in nature can be solved by the point of linear system theory. In this respect, theory of linear systems is being studied in this course.

Mathematical description of systems; linear and nonlinear systems; linearization; Linear Time Invariant (LTI) and Linear Time Varying (LTV) systems; continuous-time and discrete-time systems; state-space equations and solutions of linear systems; linear algebra; canonic forms; stability, controllability and observability of systems and applications to linear systems.
