Introduction to state-space methods covers feedback control; state-space representation of dynamic systems and dynamics of linear systems; frequency-domain analysis; controllability and observability; and shaping the dynamic response. Additional subjects encompass linear observers; compensator design by the separation principle; linear, quadratic optimum control; random processes; and Kalman filters. 1986 edition.

Awesome introduction to state space control design! Intuition is built incrementally through common examples encountered in each chapter's problem set. The author's style is fun and engaging in what is, admittedly, pretty dry subject matter.

A decent reference for basic control theory and state space formalism. Currently using this book to teach a Junior Engineer and I've have had good feedback from him.
