Featuring a brand new chapter on nonlinear systems, this revision of the best-selling textbook on feedback control has been recognized for even greater instructor flexibility and student readability. Design is emphasized throughout as well as analysis techniques to provide motivation for the study of control. The authors include many carefully worked-out examples to illustrate the material, as well as review questions to assist students in verifying that they have learned the material. The use of MATLAB is introduced early in recognition of the universal use of software tools in control analysis and design. Strong student pedagogic elements in this edition include bulleted chapter summaries, marginal notes, and chapter openers that offer perspective and an overview of the material to be presented.
The book is available for purchase at the publishers web site: Prentice-Hall. There is also a graduate level book on this material that focuses on digital Implementations entitled: Digital Control of Dynamic Systems.
