Stressing the importance of simulation and performance evaluation for effective design, this new text looks at the techniques engineers use to design control systems that work. It covers qualitative behavior and stability theory; graphical methods for nonlinear stability; saturating and discontinuous control; discrete-time systems; adaptive control; and more. For electrical engineers working in modern control system design.

From the Publisher:

With practical system design as his goal, the author focuses on topics which engineers must know to successfully design control systems. Intended to follow a first course in classical linear control, the book covers issues like simulation, nonlinear systems, graphical methods for stability, discrete-time and computer control, and adaptive control.
