This document provides a summary of a lecture on the mathematics of Nyquist plots. Some key topics covered include:
- Complex calculus concepts like Cauchy's theorem and the principle of argument.
- Derivation of the Cauchy-Riemann equations.
- Analytic functions and Cauchy's integral formula.
- Residue theorem and its application to determining stability using encirclements in the Nyquist plot.
- Construction of the Nyquist path and an example application to determine stability of a closed-loop system.
