Feedback control fundamentals with context, case studies and a design focus

Feedback Control of Dynamic Systems covers the material that every engineer needs to know about feedback control including concepts like stability, tracking and robustness. Each chapter presents the fundamentals along with comprehensive, worked-out examples, all within a real-world context and with historical background. It's devoted to supporting students equally in their need to grasp both traditional and more modern topics of digital control.

An entire chapter is devoted to comprehensive case studies; the 8th Edition has been revised with up-to-date information, brand-new sections, problems and examples.
