This review is from: Classical Feedback Control: With MATLAB (Automation and Control Engineering) (Hardcover)

this book presents a theory of control systems clearly and lucidly and presents the matlab simulation of control systems in a way which is most needed for brush-up in the eleventh hour. the author has taken keen interest in presenting the subject right from the grassroot level and a gradual development of the concepts is presented in the easy-to-use tool like way. i firmly believe that this should be in the bag of all engineers working on simulation of control systems.

This review is from: Classical Feedback Control: With MATLAB (Automation and Control Engineering) (Hardcover)

This book was very haphazard to use. It is not very clear on many subjects, and does not explain its topics well. Too much focus in on MATLab and not enough on the concepts or the procedures needed for design of a good control system. Way too much emphasis on the Bode optimal cutoff. Little else besides Bode is even mentioned. The examples are not very helpful and some only add confusion. Material not explained well. This may be a great book for reference but it is an awful choice for an introductory course.

This review is from: Classical Feedback Control: With MATLAB (Automation and Control Engineering) (Hardcover)

This book's presentation of key control systems concepts is novel and easy to understand. Integration of matlab in the text is very natural, and complements the instructional material nicely. The authors emphasize undestanding of concepts rather than antiquated techniques, which IMO, are now better done via computer.

There is very good practical information contained in the book that a less-experienced contols engineer will find useful. Furthermore, this is an engineering text, and is a bit light on the math. I found the latter aspect to be helpful though, since all you need is a decent understanding of algebra and some experience with matlab (yes, knowledge of laplace and z transforms are helpful as well).

However, the book is organized somewhat haphazardly, and it reads a bit like a bunch of power point presentations strung from end to end. Coverage of a number of concepts is very cursory, and the book is very broad in scope.

In summary - a worthwhile book, especially if you need a brush-up or like lore-type books.
