This review is from: Linear Control Systems (Hardcover)

I read this book as part of a systems engineering introductory course. I found it to be very helpful and easy to understand. The book is well organized, and the contents of the various chapters flow together smoothly. One critique is that this book would have benefited from a greater variety of practical examples. Instead it continually used a motor model. While this example was very usefull, I would have liked to have seen some other examples. Overall, a solid text.
