Prestigious University Courses on Polynomial Methods - with over 1 300 slides for download!

As a perfect teaching tool for polynomial design methods, the Polynomial Toolbox for Matlab has been succesfully used at several university courses oriented on control systems design and algebraic methods. Below you can find a list of the lectures we are aware of, along with related links.
