This book is about Linear Systems Theory, one of the most fundamental and important prerequisites necessary to study modern control techniques. Primarily intended for first-year graduate students (and advanced undergraduates) who are interested in the field of control, this book provides both a complete coverage of all standard linear systems concepts. More importantly, it extends these concepts through a smooth transition to the next level of control theory subfields, including nonlinear control, robust control, adaptive control, and stochastic control. The book achieves this by setting...
