It vas hoped hore to dovelop tools for Grcating probabilistic problens, The attempt was to tie in the discroto abstract veriable to several physicel situations, Applications were framed to reprab Whe use of material of the scosions. AV Stochastic Processes: .stabionary processes; approximations to Guussiang filtering and averaging; correlation; convolution; crossncorrelation; covarience mati power spectral ostimabos; band Liniting offocts, he intent in this session was to relate single continuous variables to the array of tools available to handle generalized data bases, Points of relevance were made to tio in the proceeding sessions to space-time variables found in a nuabor of disciplines, Jxperimental date was developed in handouts and related to Alfferent distributions for signal and noise. te Approved For Release 2005/11/21 : CIA-RDP78.03576A000100010014-5  Approved For Release 2005/11/21 : CIA-RDP78-03576A000100010014-5 X Servomochanisn Subsybems: Linear models; closed loop and open loop rosponso; root locus; Bode and Nyquish oiverias optimal. control; comron non-linearitios; phase-plene appiach, This vas an area shown strong on tho initial poll.
