3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but lacking some detail, October 22, 2009

This review is from: Adaptive Control: Second Edition (Dover Books on Electrical Engineering) (Paperback)
I'm using this book in an introductory adaptive control class. This book is well suited for that purpose because it is relatively straightforward to read. Unfortunately, it lacks a lot of rigorous mathematical detail, so if you want to do any kind of research in adaptive control your going to need a more advanced book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A useful book for practising engineers, February 18, 2011
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adaptive Control: Second Edition (Dover Books on Electrical Engineering) (Paperback)
This book is useful for practising engineers in industry. It has a good selection of concrete examples that are accompanied by graphs. This makes an appealing combination. The book is very nicely laid out and is a pleasure to read. I showed this book to a colleague who also greeted it with enthusiasm. Busy engineers have limited time to devote to learning in depth new aspects of subjects relevant to their field. However, they can benefit from even a limited grasp of the contents of books of this type because such books often give engineers ideas for solving their practical, and sometimes pressing, problems.

3.0 out of 5 stars major reference in the adaptive control, July 20, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adaptive Control: Second Edition (Dover Books on Electrical Engineering) (Paperback)
it is one of the major reference in the field of adaptive control.
however, I think it can be much better if a wider perspective in other areas like practical applications, instead of only relying on the heavy statistical side of the book. Also, if some MATLAB codes accompany each theory for simulation or practical applications, that would have been a big plus.
