1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Put Together
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2014

Using this textbook is a painful endeavor.

The fundamentals you need to learn the subject matter are found in appendices...fine, where are they? They can be found on a separate disc!

The book has MATLAB sections. Great! That's something the intended users of this textbook need to learn, or are already familiar with. Oh...it's not actually using the tools and functions of MATLAB, it's using the author's own software that they wrote for MATLAB.

When presenting concepts in this book, introductory examples quickly devolve into subscript-laden monstrosities in which upper and lower case versions of the same letter are used. Which would be alright (mathematical rigor and all), if then the following examples (when they exist) used actual numbers.

To be fair, there are some "number" examples scattered here and there. But the authors, within such examples, will ask the question on one page, that references a diagram from 5 pages earlier, and liberally skips steps so that you cannot follow their logic. Want to check some of the answers to any questions? Load up your appendices disc and be wowed when questions #1 and #2 are answered (just answers, no work) out of problem sets of 30-60 for a chapter.

The index is bad as well. In short, you're going to need something to supplement this if you're unfortunate enough to be assigned this textbook.

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2010
I had the pleasure of taking Feedback Control Systems course with Dr. M. F. Golnaraghi (Author of this book). He is extremely knowledgeable and has a huge history and experience working with Control Systems. The book is well written and builds you up from the basics. Even if you have little technical background in control system theory, after studying this book you will feel very confident. It's very well laid out and easy to understand with lots of examples and practice. It is one of the best beginner to intermediate Control systems book out there. Highly recommended!

Good if you've already familiar with Control Systems.

It skips some parts as detailing in Mathematical Foundation and goes straight to the subject that you want to know.

Comes with a CD with a very handy Mathlab program to solve Transfer Functions,etc.

However, you have to download the Appendixes from the internet, because contrary to what it says, there are no appendixes on the included CD, only the Mathlab program.

But it is a good book for post-graduate students and engineers.

C'est un bouquin présentant des concepts d'automatique assez classiques. Il est assez bien fait mais il ne présente pas de grande originalité dans le fond ou dans la forme. Un bon livre néanmoins.
