AI Thread Summary
A Greek student from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Patras University is seeking advice on choosing between two courses: Adaptive Control and Nonlinear Control. The discussion highlights that both courses are valuable, with adaptive control often applied to address nonlinear control issues. It is suggested that adaptive control may be more application-oriented, while nonlinear control leans towards theoretical concepts. The recommendation is to choose based on personal preference for practical versus theoretical learning.

Hello everyone! This is my first post. I am a Greek student at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of Patras University.
I have a very hard time deciding which course I should choose to attend between the two:

1. Adaptive Control or
2. Nonlinear Control

I would like to hear your opinion. Thank you for your time!

Both could be very good classes. Often adaptive controllers are a solution used to handle non-linear control problems. I don't think you could go wrong with either. In general I might say adaptive controllers would be a more application oriented class and the non-linear control class is probably more theoretical. If you prefer one of those over the other then pick that...
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
