Yeah, as someone with a math degree, I already know what the right half-plane refers to, I already know what zeroes and poles are (in a complex analysis way, not a control theory way), and I am just befuddled. The article doesn't really seem to have much concrete content at all, and could be cut down by a lot. Which is an achievement considering how short it already is. Just cutting out this junk: > Again roughly speaking, zeros describe mathematically how a system reacts to some input in the short term, while poles describe how a system reacts in the long term. and similar waffle would be good. It's so vague as to be counter-productive. The conclusions in the article aren't easily drawn from the vague tools we're given, in my opinion. Maybe I'm just not the target audience, but I don't really understand who that is.
