About this title

From the Back Cover

This second edition has undergone a substantial revision in order to appeal to both branches of engineering but still serves as a basic introduction that does not venture into unnecessary depth, and does not assume too much of the reader. Features comprehensive introduction which starts at a low level includes three new chapters on control system hardware, discrete time systems and microprocessor-based control chapter on z-transform has been rewritten includes more practical applications, including section on use of MATLAB supported by more case studies section on digital control made much stronger improved index
