This clearly written and comprehensive Third Edition provides students with a background in continuous-time analog classical control concepts. Design examples at the end of most chapters support the text's strong design orientation, as do thorough discussions of design methods using root locus and Bode methods that go beyond rote memorization. An expanded, more versatile treatment of modeling includes a comprehensive variety of electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical systems. This gives instructors the option of emphasizing dynamic modeling, or using a system approach. Time domain compensation (an international design method), and pole placement (an important new design method) have been added. Row shifting is covered for Routh arrays, and several advanced topics such as loop transfer recovery and H� methods are also now covered. A software package--Program CC: Introductory Version--and accompanying manual are correlated to the text, providing coding examples that illustrate how coding produces computer results. The software also offers students valuable practice solving problems using a computer: a skill that will benefit them greatly in the workplace.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Textbook for Learning,
This review is from: Design of Feedback Control Systems (Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering) (Hardcover)
This book is a very well written text intended for students. It has a good number of drills with answers that checks your learning at every step. Every chapter has detailed interesting applications. It has the most complete treatment of inverted pendulum problems not available in any book. It also has the simplest treatment of advanced state space topics along with robust control. You will not find a simpler treatment of robust control in any other book. It has a balanced treatment of classical and modern control. Most books just show you a step response in state space design. This book shows root locus and Bode plots of state space design problems and clearly links the two sides. Other books follow the treatment of this great book. The only shortcoming is a lack of nonlinear analysis and a weak digital control treatment. But for continuous linear systems this is a great book to learn from. It is also great for self study.

An OK book on design of Feedback Control Systems,
This review is from: Design of Feedback Control Systems (Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering) (Hardcover)
The topics are presented in a clear way, using many examples and illustrations.
I own several books on Control Systems (including this one), but if you have to buy just one and you are in the middle of the process of choosing it, I would recommend Katsuhiko Ogata's Modern Control Engineering. This is a good textbook, but considering its price, it's not a great buy.

Terrible,
This review is from: Design of Feedback Control Systems (Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering) (Hardcover)
I can't even begin to imagine what the first three editions of this book were like... This book has many errors in it including answers to examples and drill problems. In addition, there are so few useful examples and in those examples, steps are often skipped and the answer magically appears with no good explanation at all. In the time that I've been a student at university, I have never encountered such a terrible book. The lack of examples and coherent language really makes this book a waste of paper. You better hope you have a good professor if you use this book.
