Lecture 1: Introduction to control theory: controllability, stability, optimal control.
Lecture 2: Families of vector fields. Lie brackets, The Frobenius theorem, the Chow theorem, the Krener theorem.
Lecture 3: The theory of compatible vector fields. Recurrent drift. Applications to quantum mechanical systems.
Lecture 4: Optimal Control. Existence. The Pontryagin Maximum Principle (part 1).
Lecture 5: The Pontryagin Maximum Principle (part 2). Abnormal extremals and singular trajectories.
