This text is designed for an introductory undergraduate course in control systems for engineering students.
There is very little demarcation between aerospace, chemical, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering in control system practice: therefore this text is written without any bias towards one particular discipline. Thus, this book will be equally useful for all engineering disciplines and, perhaps, will assist in illustrating the utility of control engineering as a controlled discipline.
Mathematical modeling of control systems. Mathematical modeling of mechanical systems and electrical systems. Mathematical modeling of fluid systems and thermal systems.
Mathematical models of systems. State variable models. Feedback control system characteristics. The root locus method.

About the book... The book provides an integrated treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time systems for two courses at postgraduate level, or one course at undergraduate and one course at postgraduate level.
The book represents a modern treatment of classical control theory and application concepts. Theoretically, it is based on the state-space approach, where the main concepts have been derived using only...
Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, this text is organized around the concept of control systems theory as it has been developed in the frequency and time domains.
This course provides an overview of the major techniques of modern control theory. Although control systems have existed for many years, development of the formal scientific theory did not begin until the 1940s.
