Product Description
Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, this book is organized around the concept of control systems theory as it has been developed in the frequency and time domains. It provides coverage of classical control employing root locus design, frequency and response design using Bode and Nyquist plots. It also covers modern control methods based on state variable models including pole placement design techniques with full-state feedback controllers and full-state observers. The book covers several important topics including robust control systems and system sensitivity, state variable models, controllability and observability, computer control systems, internal model control, robust PID controllers, and computer-aided design and analysis. For all types of engineers who are interested in a solid introduction to control systems.

 Great book for getting started October 27, 2008
If you have never studied control systems (s transforms, z transforms, root locus) then this is a great starter book. Explanations are in simple language and accompany with nice illustrations. I love this book. This edition 11, has matlab examples after each chapter.
But if you are already familiar and understand many control system concepts and want a more indept analysis or more theory and techniques, then this is not for you.
 ???...Confusing...illogical.... October 23, 2008
This book is not very helpful to an engineering undergraduate student. I could see how it would be useful, to some degree to a graduate student. THe examples are few and not well explained. Some examples are explained on one page and diagrammed on the next. THe problems are plentiful, but solutions are not easy to come by. The book would benefit by having more worked out problems and less end of chapter problems. I would not recommend this book. Look for something else, unless you have a firm grasp of control engineering before using it.
could'nt ask for nothing else October 9, 2008

the book arrived in perfect condition just as expected and the shipping arrived withing the alloted time. B+
 could be clearer September 22, 2008
This book covers a lot of ground and does a so-so job explaining the topics. Plenty of reference tables and examples though.
 No way to know if you're doing the problems right July 4, 2008
This book is one of the worst I've had in Engineering school. The explanations are weak, only going over the simplest version of a concept. Just wait until your professor actually assigns problems from the book. The problems are difficult and complex, and there are zero answers in the back to verify your answers. So, you have no clue if you're doing it right. If your professor is not very helpful, you're in trouble.
