Control Systems Theory with Engineering Applications uses modern concepts of control systems theory to provide an accessible text for the most important aspects in linear and nonlinear multivariable systems.  This book presents well-defined theoretical base with step-by-step instruction on how to apply it by thoroughly studying a great number of practical real world problems and using numerous examples. The book gives basic introductory theory relating to the linear state space concept.  It provides the reader with the necessary background needed to comprehend the principles and models presented throughout the remaining portions of the book.  The methods and applications presented include a variety of relevant topics selected for their insight and pedagogical effectiveness.   Topics: * A vast range of worked-out examples and qualitative illustrations. * Mathematical model developments including Newtonian Mechanics and Lagrange Equations of Motion * Analysis, identification and control of linear and nonlinear dynamic systems * Practical engineering examples including dynamic modeling in MATLAB and SIMULINK * Theory and applications of multivariable control * Constrained optimization of continuos and discrete time systems. Control Systems Theory with Engineering Applications is an exceptionally complete and accessible text/reference for graduates and professionals in automatic control and nonlinear control.  It is an ideal resource to bridge the gap between theory and practice for students and engineers working in the fields of electrical, mechanical and aerospace engineering.
