When I was in Ireland studying my mentor told me a similar story. An old electric engineer was just tinkering his circuit board with his oscilloscope, he's so familiar with signals he can diagnose based on analogue information. My mentor also tried to explain to me (a computing student) what control theory is about. He said if you can send an impulse signal to a system and can tweak with that input, you basically got yourself a system in control theory (might be too naive a version but that's what my memory serves me).
- rcxdude 6y agoControl/signal processing theory (it's basically the same maths) should be more common on CS courses: it's extremely useful for analysing a wide range of systems. Basically any system which is supposed to be self-regulating can be understood as a control system, and this is extremely relevant in today's distributed auto-scaling cloud systems (as well as important for a lot of DSP).
