This text adopts a layered approach to the study of control systems, in which the first few chapters are suitable for use in introductory courses. The material then progresses to such advanced topics as optimal control, robustness, Kalman filtering, multivariable systems and nonlinear systems. Major topics, such as system stability, are revisted throughout the text, giving a steady progression of increasing depth.
