DESCRIPTION:
Read before buying hare thus I can't comment on the prior reviews given here except to say the my experience with the text is so orthogonal the these opinions that I though I should write a review. If you like your books terse, mathematically precise, rigorous, and without anything resembling hand holding or coaching then by all means this is your book. I have to disagree that there is minimal mathematical preparation required. I would suggest a. Great, Useful and Enjoyable This book serves as an excellent textbook for introductory graduate course in control theory. It is very well written with unambiguous statements and rigorous logic. I found it very enjoyable and was quite amazed by the theory in it. It still serves as a useful handbook to me right now.Not much background in math/control is required, but some basic knowledge in matrix is helpful. For those who have completely forgott. José Mário Araújo said Great!. In contrast of that comments a reader in review of the excellent book "Linear System Theory" by C. T. Chen, a book of linear systems theory five star exists, and this is the book! Reference, textbook, as much for undergraduate as for graduate, definitively, the best!
However, we made no attempt to have a complete coverage. The contents of the book bear the strong influence of the great advances in the field and of its enormous literature. We assume that a typical reader with an engineering background will have gone through the conventional undergraduate single-input single-output linear systems course; an elementary course in control is not indispensable but may be useful for motivation. Our motivation was to write a book on linear systems that covers finite dimensional linear systems, always keeping in mind the main purpose of engineering and applied science, which is to analyze, design, and improve the performance of phy sical systems. It is our on the data; we face robustness issues and discuss the properties hope that the book will be a useful reference for a first-year graduate student. Hence we discuss the effect of small nonlinearities, and of perturbations of feedback. For readers from a mathematical curriculum we require only familiarity with techniques of linear algebra and of ordinary differential equations.. This book is the result of our teaching over the years an undergraduate course on Linear Optimal Systems to applied mathema
