The only prerequisite is a basic understanding of differential equations and linear algebra." -Brian Ingalls, University of Waterloo It provides an accessible treatment for a wide audience who would otherwise have to labor through difficult mathematical or engineering treatments. "This book is a significant contribution.


Jacobsen, Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm I believe it will appeal to a broad audience." -Elling W. "A very useful addition to the literature on the basic principles and theory of feedback systems.

Karl Åström and Richard Murray use techniques from physics, computer science, and operations research to introduce control-oriented modeling. Unlike most books on the subject, Feedback Systems develops transfer functions through the exponential response of a system, and is accessible across a range of disciplines that utilize feedback in physical, biological, information, and economic systems. It is an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students, and is indispensable for researchers seeking a self-contained reference on control theory. This book provides an introduction to the mathematics needed to model, analyze, and design feedback systems.
