Introduction to Feedback Control

From the Publisher: "Feedback control is present in every aspect of modern life, from simple house thermostats that maintain comfortable indoor temperatures to complex devices that maintain the position of communications satellites in space. Feedback control is also a crucial part of almost all engineering systems." "Designing feedback systems requires a rigorous understanding of linear systems as well as a number of input/output controller design methods. The purpose of this book is to provide just such a rigorous introduction to input/output controller design for linear systems. For greater clarity, explanations and most examples are confined to single-input-single-output, although generalizations are also made from these examples to more complex multi-input-multi-output systems."--BOOK JACKET.
