Summary: | The book presents a comprehensive coverage of linear system theory which is intended for undergraduate courses in Control System Engineering in all Technical Universities in India. Most of the books available to students now-a-days aim at giving solution to numerical problems straight away. In this book the concept of each topic is well discussed with a full length presentation of numerical examples. Each example is unique in its own way and it is graded in sequential manner. This book highlights and provides with easy methods of getting solution rather than the roundabout way. Even though, the subject requires a very strong mathematical foundation, wherever possible, rigorous mathematics is simplified and presented for the easier understanding of the basic concepts. Further, select numerical problems worked out in this book bring to test the capability of the students knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts of the theory. Time and frequency domain approaches for the analysis and design of linear automatic Control Systems have been well explained using state space as well as transfer function models of physical systems. MATLAB is the most widely used software package in all Universities throughout the world. Sample numerical problems are chosen in all the chapters and MATLAB scripts are used to get the solution. In addition, at the end of each chapter a large number of short and long questions with answers are given as exercise.
