Students give an operational definition of a control system. They analyze the elements of a control system in terms of input, control, and output and describe the four basic types of motion: linear, reciprocating, oscillating, and rotary.

class members first work through finding the equation, table of values, graph, and key features of a linear function expressed verbally. Individuals then work through several more problems given different representations.

Formalize the notion of a function. Scholars continue their exploration of functions in the second lesson of the module. They consider functions as input-output machines and develop function rules for selected functions.
