ELEC6260 2026-27
Nonlinear Control of Aerospace Systems
Modern (and future) aircraft employ a variety of nonlinear techniques to both design control systems and perform analysis of the arising closed-loop. This is due to the fact that aircraft dynamics are fundamentally nonlinear and also, with the widespread use of digital fly-by-wire technology today, because engineers have considerably more opportunity to be flexible and adventurous with their designs. However, as with any control system, great care has to be taken to ensure that the arising system is stable and robust; this is all the more important with nonlinear methods as one cannot directly apply the powerful linear techniques which the student will be familiar with from classical control.
This module will i) provide a broad and deep foundation in nonlinear control theory, ii) introduce the student to a number of interesting nonlinear controller design techniques, and iii) illustrate the use of such techniques using flight control examples.
The module will highlight the opportunities and drawbacks provided by nonlinear techniques, equipping the student with a balanced appreciation of when and where such techniques may be effectively applied. -

Nostalgia
This module is designed to familiarise students with the principal theories, concepts, and research methods relevant to the area of nostalgia. The lectures and readings are designed to acquaint students with both classic and current research trends in the area of nostalgia. This module will help students to discover ways in which to apply the subject matter to their day-to-day experiences, and to better understand themself and others. Lectures will include discussion and class presentations. Discussion and class activities are important to class dynamics and the learning environment, and active participation will increase students understanding of the subject matter. -

PHYS3002 2028-29
Nuclei and Particles
Students will learn about Nuclear Scattering, various properties of Nuclei, the Liquid Drop Model and the Shell Model, radioactive decay, fission and fusion. By the end of the course, the students should be able to classify elementary particles into hadrons and leptons, and understand how hadrons are constructed from quarks. They will also learn about flavour quantum numbers such as isospin, strangeness, etc. and understand which interactions conserve which quantum numbers. They will study the carriers of the fundamental interactions and have a qualitative understanding of QCD as well as the mechanisms of weak and electromagnetic interactions.
This course provides an introduction to nuclear and particle physics. There are approximately 16 lectures for each section supplemented by directed reading. Lectures delivered using mainly blackboard and with a slight admixture of computer presentation for selected topics.
There will be three problem sheets with respective three sessions devoted to going over these problem sheets. Model solutions will be provided after the problem sheets are due to be handed in. The problem sheets also contain non-assessed supplementary questions usually of a descriptive nature designed for deeper understanding of the material. -

Number Theory
The aim of this module is to introduce students to some of the basic ideas of number theory, and to use this as a context in which to discuss the development of mathematics through examples, conjectures, theorems, proofs and applications. The module will introduce and illustrate different methods of proof in the context of elementary number theory, and will apply some basic techniques of number theory to cryptography.
