    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Short description:

    This is a textbook giving unusually wide and uniform coverage of control theory, with tutorial problems and answers. The mathematical level is that of final-year undergraduate courses in Engineering but there is minimal emphasis on technical mathematical niceties. The objective is stressed of providing theoretical insights to guide design of practical systems.

    Long description:

    This introduction to the theory of feedback control systems covers the whole of control theory, unifying various relevant topics in a single volume. Although the material of the book is essentially mathematical, there is minimal emphasis on the technical mathematical niceties hardly needed to generate insights about control systems. Much of this second edition has been rewritten to take account of recent developments in control theory and how it is understood. Successful features have been retained from the first edition including the uniform treatment of both continuous-time and discrete-time systems, the inclusion of a wide range of topic and the provision of problems with answers making it ideal in format and content for undergraduates and graduates in Engineering Science.

    'the book aims to provide real insight into feedback systems and is aimed at both undergaduates and graduate students of engineering with a background in the solution of differential equations, probability theory and matrix algebra'
    Aslib Book Guide, Vol. 59, No. 3, March 1994
