 Prerequisites

This short course for engineering managers, computer scientists, and engineers addresses subtleties, problems, and limitations of estimation theory as applied to real world situations.

Training emphasis is on intuitive concepts and practical applications, rather than rigorous mathematical presentation.

However, for the most benefits, students should have a basic understanding of matrix theory, state-space representation of linear systems, and probability theory.**

 

 **Review before the course?  Dr. Grewal reviews this material, which for most people is sufficient.  However, for others, a prior review before the course is helpful. Review any basic textbook in estimation theory.**
