Short description Linear State-Space Control Systems introduces senior-level undergraduate and first-year graduate students to the fundamentals of state-space methods in the analysis and design of linear control systems. The course is a mainstream offering in both electrical and mechanical engineering programs and provides a basis for advanced graduate courses in control theory (optimal control) and a comprehensive overview, with an emphasis on practical aspects, for students specializing in other areas. The book blends readability and accessibility common to undergraduate control systems texts with the mathematical rigor necessary to form a solid theoretical foundation. Appendices cover linear algebra and provide a Matlab overview and files.
