Fundamentals of linear state space systems

by John S. Bay

"Spans a broad range of linear system theory concepts, but does so in a complete and sequential style. It is suitable for a first-year graduate or advanced undergraduate course in any field of engineering. State space methods are derived from first principles while drawing on the students' previous understanding of physical and mathematical concepts. The text requires only a knowledge of basic signals and systems theory, but takes the student, in a single semester, all the way through state feedback, observers, Kalman filters, and elementary I.Q.G. control."--BOOK JACKET.
