       A large portion of the study was dedicated to system control and analysis. We learned at least a dozen methods to analyze describe a system, such as Nyquist, all this s transform and z transform stuff you had to memorize, ODEs and such. At one point I knew how to draw diagrams of all this, how to plot Bode by hand, how to solve a system described by differential equations or state space formulas. How to design a simple regulator to move poles and zeros in such and such way.But never in the entire programme did I learn how to move from a real system to this abstract mathematical model, or, in fact, how to recognize something as a system. What I learned is that the math doesn't apply to real problems because they aren't ideal. Good fucking job there, 5 years studying nonsense I would forget before even graduating (which I did, in fact, but made it through - without remembering how to do solve ODEs by hand - another really "useful" skill). It's just a waste of time and needless stress with all these exams and assignments

       @piggo I had a similar experience with control, I can't remember anything because it was so abstract, so far from reality that it was impossible to make any connections with the rest of the subjects. I'm understanding some of the stuff now in my postdoc and thanks to Youtube. It's completely ridiculous and a waste of time.I really hope that it'd change little by little.
