MATH INTRO CONTROL THE (3RD ED‪)‬

The 3rd edition strikes a nice balance between mathematical rigor and engineering oriented applications, helping students to understand the mathematical and engineering aspects of control theory.

The book makes effective use of the tools provided by MATLAB® (and includes material about using the tools provided by the Python® programming language) in the design and analysis of control systems without allowing the computer-based tools to substitute for knowledge of control theory. The examples in the text are carefully designed to develop the student's intuition — in both mathematics and engineering.

With over 90 solved homework problems and about 200 figures, this invaluable title will benefit junior and senior level university students in engineering.

Review of the 2nd Edition:'The book is an excellent introduction to classical control theory, based on frequency domain approach, modern control theory based on time domain approach, and nonlinear control and control of hybrid systems. The use of MATLAB will be beneficial to the students, undergraduate and graduate level. The readers are expected to know complex variable theory, differential equations and elementary modern algebra for using this book. It will serve elements of control theory, to both mathematicians and engineers, in a very systematic, rigorous manner.' - Zentralblatt MATH
