Geometric Quantization; a Crash Course

Early in 2011 Sam Evens acting on behalf of the organizers of a summer school on quantization at Notre Dame asked me to give a short series of lectures on geometric quantization. These lectures were meant to prepare a group of graduate mathematics students for talks at the conference on quantization which were to follow the summer school. I was told to assume that the students had attended an i...

A Crash Course in Feedback Control

This paper presents an overview of a recently designed and implemented introductory course on feedback control amenable to traditional and nontraditional audiences. The course material is based on fundamental concepts in dynamical systems, modeling, stability analysis, robustness to uncertainty, feedback as it occurs naturally, and the design of feedback control laws to engineer desirable stati...

Crash Course in the Theory of Logic

is also a term. The usual versions of FOL do not provide for complex function expressions. Logicians usually count beginning with 0; 0-place function expressions are allowed, and in fact these are the same as individual constants. Predicate expressions combine with terms to make formulas. Like function expressions, predicate expressions are typed according to the number of arguments that they t...

V A Crash Course in Geometric Mechanics

These lecture notes are the direct result of presentations held in two consecutive years (2000 and 2001) at the Peyresq Conference Center, in the Alpes de Haute Provence, North of Nice. These summer schools were organized in conjunction with the Research Training Network MASIE (Mechanics and Symmetry in Europe) of the Fifth Framework Program of the European Commission and were intended for grad...
