Overview

Modern Control Systems presents the structure of feedback control theory using a real-world integrated design and analysis approach. This text is organized around the concept of control systems theory in the context of frequency and time domains. It provides coverage of both classical and modern methods of control engineering to give you a strong foundation in basic principles that you can use to explore more advanced topics. Emphasis is placed on real-world complex control systems and practical design applications as well as evolving design strategies like green engineering and human-centered design.

The 14th Edition incorporates over 20% new or updated problems, with a total of over 980 end-of-chapter exercises, advanced problems, design problems and computer problems. Problems of increasing complexity help you progressively develop your engineering problem-solving skills.
