Introduction to Geometric Control Theory

This course is offered to master and PhD students by the Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering at UFMG.

The main goal is to introduce Geometric Control Theory to students that not necessarily have the proper mathematical background on Differential Geometry, such as those that have graduated in Electrical Engineering or Control and Automation Engineering at UFMG.
