“Linear Systems: Stability and Control” is a comprehensive textbook designed to provide undergraduate students with a solid foundation in the principles governing the stability and control of linear systems. Authored by leading experts, we offer a rigorous yet accessible introduction to key concepts essential for understanding the behavior of linear systems across various engineering disciplines.
Structured to accommodate diverse learning styles, each chapter begins with clear objectives and practical examples to engage students and illustrate real-world applications. We systematically cover fundamental topics, including system modeling, stability analysis, controllability, and observability, guiding students through the intricacies of linear system theory with clarity and precision.
Our book bridges theory with practice, featuring numerous examples and case studies from disciplines like aerospace, mechanical, and electrical engineering. We include review questions, exercises, and MATLAB simulations in each chapter to reinforce understanding and facilitate self-assessment. Emphasizing contemporary approaches and techniques, such as state-space methods and optimal control theory, we equip students with the skills necessary to tackle cutting-edge research and industry challenges.
Whether preparing for advanced coursework or entering the workforce, “Linear Systems: Stability and Control” provides the knowledge and skills needed to analyze, design, and optimize linear systems in diverse engineering applications.
