What are Lead Lag Compensators? An Introduction.

This videos covers the very basic definition of what a lead/lag compensator is. Every control system engineer should have a basic understanding of lead/lag compensators since along with PID control it is a very popular control technique. This is the first video in a series where I will explain a lead/lag controller, when to use them, and how to design and tune them.

Every college needs lecturers like you who concentrate on the concepts rather than making us score in our exams with their crude methods! Thank you Brian!

Oh man you're telling me! I was upset how poorly that dark blue recorded but by the time I went to edit the video it was way too late. I'm not using that color again:) Thanks for the comment!

My professor linked to this video from a lecture as a supplement, and I can see why. Wonderfully helpful good sir!

Thank you Brian! Learned more from you in 11 minutes then 12 weeks in class! Was happy to donate to your book.
Thanks again!

Thank you so much, Brian. I am currently studying 3rd year Mechanical Engineering, and have lost my interest in Engineering due to poor lectures. However, after seeing your videos, I am more motivated and inspired to study Engineering now, and realise how amazing Engineering is. Hopefully, you can expand your good work, make it 'big' like Khan Academy one day. Wish you all the best!

Brian, I am perfectly happy with the quick math, you have great talent to squeeze a whole lecture into my attention span. As a student I have plenty of examples to practice the math by myself.
Your videos give me deeper understanding and motivation.
Thank you a lot!
