This chapter provides the reader with basic understanding of the terminology associated with control theory and through the use of simple examples to familiarize the reader with some of the key mathematical tools needed to apply feedback control principles to engineering problems. It discusses the issue of engineering units such as International System of Units (SI) and US/Imperial Units System, since there are fundamental differences between the standards in use at teaching institutions and within industry both in Europe and the United States. The chapter also discusses the use of block diagrams to describe the functionality of closed loop control systems, and presents differential equations that describe the dynamic behavior of physical systems. The differential equations are the core of feedback control theory. It finally presents the subject of complex number theory in a brief manner.
