EECS 221A: Linear Systems Theory

1. F. M. Callier and C. A. Desoer, “Linear System Theory”, Springer Verlag, 1991. There is some concern that the format of this book is a little too “terse”, but we will try to augment it with examples, supplementary reading and references. Parts of an earlier textbook by C. A. Desoer entitled ”Notes for a Second Course on Linear Systems” van Nostrand Reinhold, 1972 (now out of print) will be made available as a reader with Copy Central on Euclid Avenue, under special permission from the author and Springer Verlag, Inc. 2. C. T. Chen, Linear Systems Theory and Design, 3rd Edition, Oxford University Press, 1998. 3. W. J. Rugh, Linear System Theory, Prentice Hall, 1993. 4. T. Kailath, Linear Systems, Prentice Hall, 1980. 5. D. F. Delchamps, State Space and Input-Output Linear Systems, Springer Verlag, 1988. 6. J. Lygeros, C. Tomlin, and S. Sastry, ”Hybrid Systems”, textbook in preparation, parts of this book will be made available for the last part of the course.
