            Objective:
            The course on control theory  is concerned with the analysis and design of closed loop 
            control systems.
            Analysis:
            Closed loop system is given           determine characteristics or behavior
            Design:
            Desired system characteristics or behavior are specified          configure or synthesize closed 
            loop system

               Definition:
               A closed-loop system is a system in which certain forces (we call these inputs) are 
               determined, at least in part, by certain responses of the system (we call these outputs).
