However, performing even the simplest classical control tasks in such a framework requires the development of new theories of dynamical systems, optimal control, reachability, and adaptation. This course will serve as a gentle first introduction to that endeavor. Topics covered will include: basics of formal probability and measure theory, Markov chains, Markov decision processes, dynamic programming, optimal policies, partial observability and beliefs, robust control for uncertain processes, exploration-exploitation tradeoff and value of information, multi-agent planning, and automata and product spaces. Prerequisite: familiarity with graph theory, probability, and random variables
