Control of Continuous Linear Systems
This book contains more than 150 problems and solutions on the
control of linear continuous systems. The main definitions and
theoretical tools are summarized at the beginning of each chapter,
after which the reader is guided through the problems and how to
solve them.
The author provides coverage of the ideas behind the
developments of the main PID tuning techniques, as well as
presenting the proof of the Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion
and giving some new results dealing with the design of root
locus.

Chapter 2. Laplace transforms and block diagrams.
Chapter 3. Analysis.
Chapter 4. Stability and the root locus.
