In nonlinear systems, backlash refers to a mechanical phenomenon where there is a delay or hysteresis in the response of the system due to gaps or play in the mechanical components. This can lead to non-ideal behavior such as delays, deadbands, and oscillations in the system output. Backlash can negatively impact the stability and performance of the system if not properly accounted for in control design.

Linear systems are easier to understand and help you build an understanding of the workings of a system. Once you have a firm understanding of linear systems and the mathematics are understood you will be in a better position to understand more complex non-linear systems.
