Feedback & Control
Measure, compare, correct, repeat: feedback is how thermostats hold a temperature, cars hold a speed, drones hover and your body stays at 37 °C. Simulate heaters and cars, discover why too much correction makes things oscillate, and tune the three ingredients of the PID controller that runs much of the modern world.
