DESCRIPTION:
Read before buying hare thus I can't comment on the prior reviews given here except to say the my experience with the text is so orthogonal the these opinions that I though I should write a review. If you like your books terse, mathematically precise, rigorous, and without anything resembling hand holding or coaching then by all means this is your book. I have to disagree that there is minimal mathematical preparation required. I would suggest a very rigorous linear algebra background and a working knowledge of state space differential eqn before you try this one. If you are an academic who wants hair splitting precise buildup of the theory then its for you. If you. "Great, Useful and Enjoyable" according to A Customer. This book serves as an excellent textbook for introductory graduate course in control theory. It is very well written with unambiguous statements and rigorous logic. I found it very enjoyable and was quite amazed by the theory in it. It still serves as a useful handbook to me right now.Not much background in math/control is required, but some basic knowledge in matrix is helpful. For those who have completely forgotten their freshman-year algebra course, appendices are provided with concise content and useful conclusions. So it does not take long to refresh.. "Great!" according to José Mário Araújo. In contrast of that comments a reader in review of the excellent book "Linear System Theory" by C. T. Chen, a book of linear systems theory five star exists, and this is the book! Reference, textbook, as much for undergraduate as for graduate, definitively, the best!
Problems of stability and controllability receive particular attention, and connections between the state space approach and classical techniques are highlighted. This landmark in the technique's development and applications was written by two pioneers in the field, Lotfi A. The state space approach is widely used in systems ranging from industrial robots to space guidance control. The properties of transfer functions are covered in separate chapters. Most of the text concerns the application of the state space approach to systems described by differential equations. Extensive appendixes feature complete and self-contained expositions of delta-functions and distributions, the Laplace and Fourier transform theory, the theory of infinite dimensional linear vector spaces, and functions of a matrix.. Zadeh and Charles A. Desoer, who teach in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley.Starting with a self-contained introduction to system theory, the authors explain basic concepts, presenting each idea within a carefully integrated framework of numerous illustrative examples
