You not only make me understand, but also make me marvel at the beauty of the stuff you're teaching. You are a brilliant teacher! Thank you so much for taking the time out to make these videos and helping us struggling undergraduates with something that can be so simple, but is generally taught in a way that makes the material inaccessible and scary.
The reason this is so good is because of the example program he made rather than theorems that are very hard to read because they skip all the derivation steps and just say they are trivial and we should do at our own time.
What if the RHS zeros of (1+G*H) are compensated by the zeros of G ? Than you will not have Poles in the RHS of the closed loop system CLTF = G / (1+G*H) Is this case even possible?
I have placed the two scripts I wrote in Google docs and placed the link in the description. I have not modified the existing Nyquist function in Matlab ... it was just a bit of movie magic! After the plots came up I modified them a little by making the lines thicker and such so it's easier for you guys to see. I just edited that part out.
You're an absolute legend, I failed my summer exam in control and I have my repeats in 4 weeks. Your vids are saving me, and I think I'm finally getting the concept of CONTROL. I wish you the best in life, sincerely.
You helped me grasp control theory like never before. I now think like a control system engineer. Brian, your dedication to teaching is truly appreciated. Just as scientists advance knowledge, educators like you ensure its transmission. Thank you for your invaluable contribution.
You are an amazing teacher! Thank you so much for making this amazing resource publicly available. You are responsible for many engineering students developing a real understanding of important stuff
This series is fantastic. I wish more people who taught Controls could communicate the concepts as effectively as you do in your videos. Keep up the great work!
I'll be another drop in the bucket when I say this, but I have to say it. This video is phenomenal. All of your videos that I've watched so far are amazing. I think you're the reason I will pass my control systems course. Thank you for your work.
You must understand that you have a unique gift of God that you can explain things so purely. I feel enlightened by the level of insight you present. Thank you, Sir.
The best explanation of the Nyquist plot. I gave up this topic but thanks to you now I can imagine what is the Nyquist plot and why it even exists. thanks, man.
OMFG, I really, really enjoy the way you explain. I know there are too many people who are not from an English speaking country and watch your videos, just like me! Regards from Argentina
Hey man, just wanted to say your online classes are worth 10 of my brain-shrivelling books, I wish I had a teacher like you for every class!! Keep it up, you make all of our lives so much easier!
Amazing! The reader for my system control class dedicated a whole 400-orso words to Nyquist diagrams... So I am glad to have found someone explaining it to this degree of clearness!
Thanks alot, Nyquist criterion was a topic I hated because of lack of understanding, I tried many resources including some reference books, but I didn't understand it. Now because of your beautiful explanation, not only that I understood it really well, I could appreciate the beauty of the concept, thanks again
Wow! Amazing. I am speaking for everyone when I say could you upload the 2nd part because we all love you and need these videos in our lives. You should be paid for what you do!
Before learning the maths behind a topic, its very helpful for a teacher like you to explain the reasoning and overall picture of whats going on. I feel my knowledge is incomplete without watching your videoes. Thanks for the great work!
I clicked here by accident but stayed because it sounded so interesting. Literally had 0 knowledge of the topic at hand, but you were such a good teacher that I feel like I learned something anyway haha
wah....was having so much trouble with Nyquist and this one video (well ofcourse with some previous knowledge of the Nyquist plot) clears most of the things! great work Brain!
Thanks for making these videos, Brian. I'm laid-up right now with a broken ankle, so I'm diverting some of my couch and raised-foot time to these lessons. You're really good at driving home the concepts. Just an idea: As a recent EE graduate, I'd like to see a video where you design a simple controls system or model or whatever, but without regard to a generic student. Just a straight-forward, "thinking outloud" version of you working through a problem. Just an idea.
Today I just skipped my lesson in Modern Design of Control System, because i didn't understand the previous ones about Nyquist, so it wouldn't have been useful going to lesson today. Thanks to you, maybe I can go to the next lesson! Love u man
Absolutely amazing videos. I have understood far more through this 17 min video that i have in an entire semester that spans 5 months. Thank you very much.
Awesome explanation of the so smokey Cauchy Argument principle that most text books fail to explain, making it impossible to grasp the real thing! Even 20 years ago when i studied this at the university they gave us quite a smokey explanation compared to this one. Great job! Thumbs up!
I know I know! I have the script done and will try to draw it and post it tomorrow. The end of summer has been busy and I've been slacking on these videos :( Best of luck with your exam, I'm glad my videos are helping.
sir, your videos are simply awesome.. they help me a lot.. in fact, I stop reading books for some topics and rely fully on your lectures.. please make a video on Nichols plot.. I find it difficult to understand..
9:28 I think of it as - clockwise rotation in the s plane always means the phase contribution is DECREASING, (135 to 90 to 45 to 0) if this clockwise rotation is around a Zero, we have reduction of a positive contribution of phase for the phasor in the w plane. Since phase is Reducing it makes sense that this corresponds to encircling the origin of w plane (encircle any other other point and phase does not complete an entire circle) in the clockwise direction. The same way, encircling a Pole in the s plane, in the clockwise direction means reduction of the negative contribution of that pole. So phase of the phasor in the w plane increases as this encirclement goes on, which corresponds to an Anti Clockwise rotation.
I don't knowif your explanation is right or wrong, but I know it's awesome, I don't know why teachers whom I pay lots of money don't explain things like you do. Big like and all the best with your book Brian.
I came to your channel like a year ago to study bode plots and it was so good I subscribed, today i was seraching for nyquist plots and not only you were once again flawless in your explanation but I also found the control theory map that my teacher used to present the module. You are influencing both students and teachers around the globe, thank you very much and greetings from barcelona!
isn't there somthing essentially paradoxical about needing to know the specific positions of the poles and zeros in order to map to the w-plane, when the entire point of doing so is that the output in the w-plane illicits infomation only about if the zeros lie on the right hand side of the plane. This sees like you loose infomation rather than gain. I'm obvisouly wrong, but could somebody clear this up??
I think that part of the confusion at 14:49 is why you would care about the number of zeros in the RHP. The answer, of course, is that these are zeros of 1 + HG meaning they are the poles of the closed loop transfer function.
7 years after you uploaded this video, in the middle of a pandemic, you saved a uni student from failing his module. Thanks.
*uni students
we out here
hey there
Brian douglas is a saviour to the electrical engineering generation today
+1 in 2022❤

Anantika Mehra 😂 😂 😂 I have become Fan of your English 😛
True!
The reason this is so good is because of the example program he made rather than theorems that are very hard to read because they skip all the derivation steps and just say they are trivial and we should do at our own time.
Part two is in my head! I'm working on it now and should have it out within the week. Thanks for watching!
What if the RHS zeros of (1+G*H) are compensated by the zeros of G ?
Than you will not have Poles in the RHS of the closed loop system CLTF = G / (1+G*H)
Is this case even possible?
We need a continuation, this is the most amazing video I saw on this topic! Pls continue working and bringing this kind of insight!
Hi Brian, would you let me know what reference books you recommend?
I LITERALLY CRIED WHEN I UNDERSTOOD IT. ENGLISH ISNT EVEN MY FIRST LANGUAGE SO I HAD TO CONCENTRATE EXTRA HARD . THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH
Feeling the exact same way lol, i was starting to get super-anxious about my upcoming exam ;;
@@diamond-Kaz you got this. i actually graduated since writing the comment. i wish you all the luck in the world i believe in you❤
@@hidansektas 💖💝❤️
I have placed the two scripts I wrote in Google docs and placed the link in the description.
I have not modified the existing Nyquist function in Matlab ... it was just a bit of movie magic! After the plots came up I modified them a little by making the lines thicker and such so it's easier for you guys to see. I just edited that part out.
I added the Mathworks link to arrow.m in the description. I'm working on part two now and should have it out within the week!
Just watched 5 hours of university lectures that didn't even come close to explaining the topic with this level of clarity
I use Photoshop and a screen capture program. You can see exactly how I do it in my video titled "How I make a control systems lecture video". Cheers!
you are a lifesaver dude.you made me understand something easily in minutes which i could not understand for hours together
I really like the way you teach. The sound and image are both very clear, and you seem motived when you speak. Please keep making more videos!
Blown away by how clear and concise this video is, thank you!
You're an absolute legend, I failed my summer exam in control and I have my repeats in 4 weeks. Your vids are saving me, and I think I'm finally getting the concept of CONTROL. I wish you the best in life, sincerely.
Sir, you are a Control Systems Theory god. Bless thee for allowing us lowly beings ascend the ladder of knowledge.
Why are you so good at explaining?!
You helped me grasp control theory like never before. I now think like a control system engineer.
Brian, your dedication to teaching is truly appreciated. Just as scientists advance knowledge, educators like you ensure its transmission.
Thank you for your invaluable contribution.
From basic to the top
always the best lecture series :D

This series is fantastic. I wish more people who taught Controls could communicate the concepts as effectively as you do in your videos. Keep up the great work!
This guy blows my lecturer out of the water, kudos man!
I not only passed my semester but also grew an appreciation for Control Systems because of your lectures.
Thank you so much!
I'll be another drop in the bucket when I say this, but I have to say it. This video is phenomenal. All of your videos that I've watched so far are amazing. I think you're the reason I will pass my control systems course. Thank you for your work.

The best explanation of the Nyquist plot. I gave up this topic but thanks to you now I can imagine what is the Nyquist plot and why it even exists. thanks, man.
Nyquist is one of the coolest names i have ever heard of
This is the best series of starting to learn control theory on youtube ! Thank you very much for your time and effort!
OMFG, I really, really enjoy the way you explain. I know there are too many people who are not from an English speaking country and watch your videos, just like me! Regards from Argentina
Hey man, just wanted to say your online classes are worth 10 of my brain-shrivelling books, I wish I had a teacher like you for every class!!
Keep it up, you make all of our lives so much easier!
Geesh.... You are such a good teacher, that made understanding Nyquist stuff so much easier
My god, I owe you my life man LOL
This video saved my day
阿修是你ㄇ
Brian, you have the ability to make all control system theory interesting!
Amazing! The reader for my system control class dedicated a whole 400-orso words to Nyquist diagrams... So I am glad to have found someone explaining it to this degree of clearness!
7 years later and still an awesome video. Thanks man.
You are a Hero. If they could just fire the lecturer and put your videos in a playlist instead the pass rate would skyrocket.
I've been wondering about this for a solid 6 months and it's so much clearer now. Thanks !!!
Thanks alot, Nyquist criterion was a topic I hated because of lack of understanding, I tried many resources including some reference books, but I didn't understand it.

This really ties everything together into one clearer picture. Much appreciated!!
I may have failed the first time taking Control Systems class, but this second time with your videos I'm passing. :) Thank you, Brian. You da man!
Watching your videos just two nights before my finals. Many thanks!! it's great to hear such a great explanation to this subject
I clicked here by accident but stayed because it sounded so interesting. Literally had 0 knowledge of the topic at hand, but you were such a good teacher that I feel like I learned something anyway haha
wah....was having so much trouble with Nyquist and this one video (well ofcourse with some previous knowledge of the Nyquist plot) clears most of the things! great work Brain!
You are a living legend.. thanks for such an amazing video!! Seriously helped a lot. - Undergraduate student from South Korea -
these videos are literally saving me this semester. thank you!!
sem savers

Love u man
I'd like to take the time to sincerely thank you for preventing me from failing my control systems course this term.
watching only 2 or 3 videos had made me a great fan of yours
doing a great job,ecstatic to find you on youtube.
This video saved me and the midterm I have to take tomorrow :)
Congratulations! Now Nyquist theorem is comprehensible.
Absolute legend, you deserve an honorary PhD for these beautiful videos!
Absolutely amazing videos. I have understood far more through this 17 min video that i have in an entire semester that spans 5 months. Thank you very much.
You are a genius man!!! I was never going to understand about the control module without you! Thankyou..
Awesome explanation of the so smokey Cauchy Argument principle that most text books fail to explain, making it impossible to grasp the real thing! Even 20 years ago when i studied this at the university they gave us quite a smokey explanation compared to this one. Great job! Thumbs up!
Sir, OMG. You made my life easier!. I was awestruck when you showed the nyquist plots in matla. It makes so much sens e now. Thanks a ton!
I read Ogata and Nise sometimes about Nyquist but this video helped me more. Thanks a lot and keep with the excellent work.
I spent days on nptel and I finally found this lecture, thank you..
The best teacher i have ever seen
thanks for the explanation
, you are one of the best youtubers on this area!
Brian, you are the best one. Please, make a video about state space control. The world needs it!!!! Thaaks.
Yes please!!!!!
i learned more from this 15 minute video than a 2 hour lecture I just had
Same here
U save my final exam, I love u.
Thanks for sharing the matlab code and for the explanation on how you got such a nice Nyquist plot.
Brian! YOU are sick man... so good, most clearly explained video ever watched on youtube!
I have an exam in 2 hours and I am watching this now. Thank you so much for making me understand what I am even learning.
I am also waiting for the second part very anxiously.Exams are coming soon and this is just what i need.
I know I know! I have the script done and will try to draw it and post it tomorrow. The end of summer has been busy and I've been slacking on these videos :( Best of luck with your exam, I'm glad my videos are helping.
Thank you! These tutorials have really helped me in learning control engineering!
I have a final exam of Control Systems next monday and this helped me a lot to better understanding Nyquist Criterion. Thanks a lot! I subscribed btw
Best lectures on control system in whole you tube
Fantastic demonstration , the Matlab simulation really helped !
This content is unbelievably good!
Ms. Braian you are such a brilliant engineer
I hate my professors after I watch your videos
I learn more from youtube than I did from undergrad and grad school :| Thanks @Brian for making this series.
You should run for president! you have a gift at breaking down complicated ideas and explain them so easily to the common man!! hahaha
Control Systems has become my favourite subject because of you. Thank you! :)
Thank you so much, maybe these are the only videos with a good explanation of the theme. Nice job :)
Wow first time I supported a youtuber on patreon. Keep-up the good work
You are best teacher, So I am the best student....actually We all are......& it's hard to find someone like you....Thanks for everything
Control Systems is so much understandable thanks to your videos, I greatly appreciate it!
Man, this man is better at explaining than my uni professor.
Thank you very much!
So clear dude. You are the Man Brian. Infinite thanks to you Sir!
Brian, you are a funny guy, especially when you expressed your amazement graphing 2 Nyquist plots
sir, your videos are simply awesome.. they help me a lot.. in fact, I stop reading books for some topics and rely fully on your lectures.. please make a video on Nichols plot.. I find it difficult to understand..

I had no interest in controls until I saw this playlist. He is a pro in explanation.
Your videos are so easy to understand. Amazing work. I'll be buying your book when it comes out
Really nice videos (part 1 and 2). They help a lot to get an intuitive understanding of the topic.
Was way interesting then my lecture You saved the day.
You're awesome, in addition to a great lecture you provide great tools (matlab files)
isn't there somthing essentially paradoxical about needing to know the specific positions of the poles and zeros in order to map to the w-plane, when the entire point of doing so is that the output in the w-plane illicits infomation only about if the zeros lie on the right hand side of the plane.

how in the hell can anyone dislike these videos! these are amazing!
Thank you for the great presentation. Does anyone know what software is used to make the presentation? I am assuming it can be done with iPad.
Thank you, you just saved my final exam!!!
Thank you so much! I had already given up on understanding the logic behind Nyquist but now everything makes sense!
