>>11817715Any good books on embedded systems, control theory, dynamical systems, or optimization that I should read? I have an undergrad degree in math, and have no interest in formally pursuing graduate studies, but have recently considered working on a project that might unify these ideas, as I've developed an affinity for them.
I have taken a class in optimization before, and used An Introduction to Optimization by Chong and Zak.
Bonus question: Should I try to develop these ideas (for my own benefit) in the language of categories? I have attended conferences on applied category theory and painfully worked through Mac Lane's Categories for the Working Mathematician, as well as various books on a.c.t. by Spivak (David, not Michael) and Fong, though I still struggle with whether or not it is a meme for anything outside of algebraic geometry.
In yesterday's /mg/, Optimal State Estimation by Dan Simon was recommended to me, and a bit of category theory's "use" in computer science and physics expounded.
Hope you all are having a good day or night and my rambling was not too retarded to parse. Thanks.
