Synopsis

For senior level and graduate courses in Calculus of Variations and/or Control Theory, in math or engineering departments.

This is the first truly up-to-date treatment of calculus of variations―and the first to incorporate a simple introduction to key concepts such as optimization, optimal control, bang-bang, Pontryagin's maximum principle, or LQ control design. All material is introduced using simple, easily understood applications that are worked and reprised several times throughout.
