Did the lecture move on to the root locus before you were sure what a pole actually was?
Have you ever followed a derivation to the exact line where the textbook writes "it can be shown that" — and lost it there?
Do you raise the gain, watch the loop start hunting, and turn it back down without knowing why it did that?
This book was written for the space between those moments. It builds every result from stated assumptions, shows the intermediate steps that get skipped, and explains each idea twice: once from first principles, and once in the language of the plant floor, with the failure mode named. Every worked example carries the full calculation, unit by unit. Every practice problem has a complete solution, not a bare answer — an answer without reasoning teaches nothing to a reader who got it wrong.
By the end you will be able to:
- Turn a physical system — mechanical, electrical or electromechanical — into a differential equation, and that equation into a transfer function you can manipulate.
- Predict how a system responds in time, and state its overshoot, rise time and settling time before you build it.
- Decide whether a closed loop stays bounded, and find the exact range of gain over which it does.
- Calculate the steady-state error a loop will hold, and change the loop so the error disappears.
- Read a plant's behaviour from its frequency response and know how much margin you have before it goes unstable.
- Design a compensator that meets a written specification by either classical method, and know why the two agree.
- Tune a controller in the field, and understand what the tuning rule assumes about your process.
- Put the finished compensator on a processor without the discrete implementation quietly undoing your design.
The examination date does not move. The interview question gets asked. The loop that hunts at two in the morning keeps hunting until someone understands why. Every week you postpone the underlying mathematics, the distance widens between passing the course and being the engineer other people call when the loop misbehaves.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
