Modern control engineering by Katsuhiko Ogata
Ogata’s Modern Control Engineering,
offers the comprehensive coverage of continuous-time control systems
that all senior students must have, including frequency response
approach, root-locus approach, and state-space approach to analysis and
design of control systems. The text provides a gradual development of
control theory, shows how to solve all computational problems with
MATLAB, and avoids highly mathematical arguments. A wealth of examples
and worked problems are featured throughout the text.
