Reviews:
This book contains every thing written in engineering control. Every topic is presented in full detail with helpful examples. If you don't know any thing about control, follow this book page by page and you will be a professional control engineer. You don't need to make any revision before using the book because the first four sections of the book are "Mathematical Foundations" which will give you the needed background to use the book efficiently. If you buy 10 books in various topics of control, you will still find things in The Control Handbook that are not available in your books. My advice is: " this book is a must"
".there is a need for good books that explain the questions and results of control theory in a way that mathematicians can understand while doing justice to the engineering side and giving many examples of real application. The Control Handbook is an ambitious and spectacularly successful effort to respond to this need. It is a most welcome addition to the literature in the field."
- Hector J. Sussmann, Rutgers University
".clearly sets a standard by bringing together a reference which will equally well serve the scholar, the practitioner, and the student in one volume."
-IEEE Control Systems, December 1998
The Control Handbook is the AAP winner of best engineering handbook of 1996
