Fundamentals of Linear Control: A Concise Approach

Taking a different approach from standard thousand-page reference-style control textbooks, Fundamentals of Linear Control provides a concise yet comprehensive introduction to the analysis and design of feedback control systems in fewer than 400 pages. The text focuses on classical methods for dynamic linear systems in the frequency domain. The treatment is, however, modern and the reader is kept aware of contemporary tools and techniques, such as state space methods and robust and nonlinear control. Featuring fully worked design examples, richly illustrated chapters, and an extensive set of homework problems and examples spanning across the text for gradual challenge and perspective, this textbook is an excellent choice for senior-level courses in systems and control or as a complementary reference in introductory graduate level courses. The text is designed to appeal to a broad audience of engineers and scientists interested in learning the main ideas behind feedback control theory.

《線性控制基礎》與標準的厚重參考型控制教科書不同，以簡潔而全面的方式介紹了在不到400頁中分析和設計反饋控制系統的基礎知識。本書專注於頻域中動態線性系統的傳統方法。然而，本書的內容現代化，讀者也會了解到當代的工具和技術，如狀態空間方法、強健和非線性控制。本書包含完整的設計示例，圖文並茂的章節，以及廣泛的作業問題和例子，逐步挑戰和展望，非常適合高年級的系統和控制課程，或作為初級研究生課程的補充參考資料。本書旨在吸引廣大的工程師和科學家，他們有興趣了解反饋控制理論的主要思想。
