\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

a. \ud83d\udcb8\ud83d\udcc8\ud83c\udf81 Use control and systems theory to better understand how the economy works and how one should adapt political policies so that everyone can afford Christmas presents next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

b. \ud83e\udda0\ud83e\ude7a\ud83e\udd1d Use control theory to better understand how diseases spread and how counter measures affect the spread to find best mitigation strategies to make sure everyone is healthy for the holiday season next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

c. \ud83c\udf81\u267b\ufe0f\ud83d\udccf Use control theory to improve the production and increase resource efficiency of Christmas wrapping paper for the next season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

d. \ud83e\uddf8\ud83d\udd04\ud83c\udf0d Use control theory to find a way to efficiently remanufacture old toys. After all recycling and reusing is in fashion anyway!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

e. \ud83d\udef7\u2728\ud83d\udd27 Use control theory to improve the suspension in his sleigh to make the ride more comfortable for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

f. \ud83e\udd14\ud83d\udce2\ud83d\udd75\ufe0f Use control theory to better understand social dynamics and how the myth of his non-existance as well as other lies and false facts spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

g. \ud83e\udd57\ud83c\udf31\ud83c\udf74 Use control of bioprocesses to help production of plant based food to have a yummy alternative for next year’s Christmas dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

h. \ud83c\udf6a\ud83c\udf1e\u26a1 Use control to better understand the power usage pattern in his workshop and when he should be running the oven to bake cookies, and how to best combine power from his photo voltaic system and his wind mill.<\/p>\n\n\n
