Schaum's Outline Series: Control Systems

0.0

The book is intended to present concise, yet comprehensive treatment of the fundamentals of control system theory and application. The necessary mathematical tools have been developed through illustrative examples for better understanding of the concepts. This adapted revised edition contains additional topics on State Variable Analysis, Time Response of First Order and Second Order Systems and Discrete State Space Analysis for up-to date coverage. Numerous solved examples and practice questions are given in the book for practice. MATLAB examples are included in the book to help students in solving problems. Key Feature New topics added on `State Variable Analysis,? `Time Response of First Order & Second Order? and `Discrete State Space Analysis? Unified exposition of continuous time and discrete time control systems concepts Separate chapter on `Advanced Topics in Control Systems? and `Nonlinear Control Systems? for complete coverage of control systems.
