Modern Control Systems

Modern Control Systems presents the structure of feedback control theory and provides a sequence of exciting discoveries as you proceed through the text and problems. Written to be equally useful for all engineering disciplines, this text is organized around the concept of control systems theory in the context of frequency and time domains. It provides coverage of both classical and modern methods of control engineering to give you a strong foundation in basic principles that you can utilize to explore advanced topics in later chapters. Emphasis is placed on real-world complex control systems and practical design applications as well as evolving design strategies like green engineering and human-centered design.

Problem solving is strongly emphasized, with an abundance of problems of increasing complexity that help you learn to apply theory to computer-aided design and analysis concepts using MATLAB® and LabVIEW™ MathScript. The 14th Edition incorporates over 20% new or updated problems, with a total of over 980 end-of-chapter exercises, problems, advanced problems, design problems, and computer problems. The Pearson eText includes new Video Solutions, interactive figures, and Skills Check questions to enhance your learning.
