Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems

This Revision Of A Top-selling Textbook On Feedback Control Provides Greater Instructor Flexibility And Student Readability. Chapter 4 On A First Analysis Of Feedback Has Been Substantially Rewritten To Present The Material In A More Logical And Effective Manner. A New Case Study On Biological Control Introduces An Important New Area To The Students, And Each Chapter Now Includes A Historical Perspective To Illustrate The Origins Of The Field. As In Earlier Editions, The Book Has Been Updated So That Solutions Are Based On The Latest Versions Of Matlab And Simulink.--book Jacket. 1. Overview And Brief History Of Feedback Control -- 2.
