“The book can be used as a dictionary of basic control concepts, under the support of interactive tools. … the authors have produced a technically excellent and very well-written text on the analysis and design of control systems employing computer-aided design tools.” (Dan Selisteanu, Mathematical Reviews, September, 2024)
Automatic Control with Interactive Tools
von José Luis Guzmán, Ramon Costa-Castelló, Manuel Berenguel und Sebastián DormidoAutomatic Control with Interactive Tools is a textbook for undergraduate study of automatic control. Providing a clear course structure, and covering concepts taught in engineering degrees, this book is an ideal companion to those studying or teaching automatic control. The authors have used this text successfully to teach their students.
By providing unique interactive tools, which have been designed to illustrate the most important automatic control concepts, Automatic Control with Interactive Tools helps students overcome the potential barriers presented by the significant mathematical content of automatic control courses. Even when they have previously had only the benefit of an introductory control course, the software tools presented will help readers to get to grips with the use of such techniques as differential equations, linear algebra, and differential geometry.
This textbook covers the breadth of automatic control topics, including time responses of dynamic systems, the Nyquist criterion and PID control. It switches smoothly between analytical and practical approaches. Automatic Control with Interactive Tools offers a clear introduction to automatic control, ideal for undergraduate students, instructors and anyone wishing to familiarize themselves with the fundamentals of the subject
