Prof Richard Mitchell's Introduction to Feedback Course : Autumn 2015 and Spring 2016 © Prof Richard Mitchell 2015/16

The aim of this course is to give an introduction to Feedback, one of the fundamental concepts in Cybernetics. It also demonstrates that Cybernetics applies to a great variety of systems, as indicated by Weiner's definition: Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine. There are 10 lectures in the Autumn term, setting the scene, and 10 in the Spring term.
