This self-study book offers optimum clarity and a thorough analysis of the principles of classical and modern feedback control. It emphasizes the difference between mathematical models and the physical systems that the models represent. The authors organize topic coverage into three sections--linear analog control systems, linear digital control systems, and nonlinear analog control systems, using the advanced features of MATLAB throughout the book. For practicing engineers with some experience in linear-system analysis, who want to learn about control systems.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"This book presents mathematically oriented classical control theory in a concise manner such that undergraduate students are not overwhelmed by the complexity of the materials. In each chapter, it is organized such that the more advanced material is placed toward the end of the chapter." — Jongeun Choi, Michigan State University
"This book is self-contained and ideal for teaching the classical control theory for junior- and senior-level undergraduate students." — Jongeun Choi, Michigan State University
"For those who are considering a career as a control systems engineer, I think this text is a great introduction to classical control system design." — John Schmitt, Oregon State University
"[The greatest strengths of this text are] The mathematical foundation provided for all of the concepts introduced. Almost all concepts presented in the text are supported by a mathematical derivation." — John Schmitt, Oregon State University
"I feel the text is very comprehensive and the updates with MATLAB are very good." — Satish S. Nair, University of Missouri

Typical Prentice Hall,

This review is from: Feedback Control Systems, 4th Edition (Paperback)
As is usually the case with Prentice Hall books, you are left puzzled about how to use the information presented in the chapter to solve even the first Practice Problem in each chapter. The chapter uses simple examples, and then expects you to solve more complicated systems without explaining how the concepts can be extended to cover them.The authors also provide no answers to the practice problems, so to check any of your work you must find someone that knows the correct answer and compare your work with theirs. It seems every time the author attempts to extend some help by preworking part of a problem they make a typo... With only one simple example as guidance there is no room for typos. On the plus side, the material in the book is well selected. If you are working on control systems, you will find these topics helpful, so the book does deserve a star, but only one. I do not recommend this book or its publisher, Prentice Hall; especially to anyone trying to independent study this material.

Decent overview, poor organization,

This review is from: Feedback Control Systems (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
It has the information for basic controls, but the organization is tough for beginners to follow. It is just tough to read through, and I am one who reads many EE and math books cover to cover.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Undergraduate Student in Electrical Engineering,
By Michael Suckow (Auburn, AL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feedback Control Systems, 4th Edition (Paperback)
Why are there no solutions to the presented problems? Most all books I have used, in my 3 years of studying EE, have had the answers to the odd numbered problems. One example within a chapter is not enough for a student to be certain that other, more different, problems can be aproached and solved in the same manner.If a solutions guide is available, I am more than willing to purchase it. suckomj@yahoo.com
