Academic Honesty
All items in the Honor Code under the topic of
Academic Misconduct apply to this class. In
particular, the following items are considered
to be cheating:
Submission of an assignment that is copied
from another student
Communicating with Other Students During
Online Exams
Academic misconduct will be reported to the

Mathematical Modeling (MM)
A mathematical model represents a physical
system in terms of mathematical equations
It is derived based on physical laws
(e.g.,Newton’s law, Hooke’s, circuit laws,
etc.) in combination with experimental data.
It quantifies the essential features and
behavior of a physical system or process.
It may be used for prediction, design

modification and control.

Definition of System
System: An aggregation or assemblage of
things so combined by man or nature to
form an integral and complex whole.
From engineering point of view, a system is
defined as an interconnection of many
components or functional units that act
together to perform a certain objective,
e.g., automobile, machine tool, robot,
ME3017, System Dynamics
aircraft, etc.

Dynamic Systems
A system is said to be dynamic if its current
output may depend on the past history as
well as the present values of the input
variables. Mathematically, y(t ) f [u(),0 t ]
u : Input, t : Time
Example: Automobile
u= throttle position v= speed
= steering wheel
