Basic Control Systems Engineering

by Paul H. Lewis

This rigorous—yet accessible—book integrates frequent realistic examples throughout its presentation of control systems engineering. KEY TOPICS: By exploiting the remarkable capabilities of today's computers and programming techniques, the authors describe methodologies for reducing computational difficulties and improving insight into essential areas of study. Coverage reflects the needs of today's practicing engineers by including such topics as the simulation of commonly observed nonlinear phenomena and the design of discrete-event control systems.
