Chairs: Hybrid Systems (HS)

The engineering mathematician is involved in the development and application of mathematical tools for solving problems that arise in technological systems. Modern technologies increasingly rely on complex systems to reach their functionality. Mathematical systems and control theory is concerned with the mathematical analysis of complex systems, as well their design by addition of control components (feedback), involving system components from various disciplines including electrical and mechanical engineering, computer science and process control. This results in advanced courses in a variety of mathematical topics, mathematical modelling, joint courses with other disciplines, and a final research project in a company or research institute in The Netherlands, or at the university.

The first year is divided into 4 quartiles and entails 10–12 courses of 5 or 6 ECs per course. The number of courses in the second year is flexible (possibly zero). Some of the courses are compulsory.

Other courses may be chosen from the tentative list below. This list is not complete but gives a good indication of what is available. The choice depends on your background and preferences and the content of the graduation project.
