CHOICE Review

In the quarter century since control system engineers first became acquainted with the state-space method of dynamic system analysis, hundreds of research papers and dozens of books have been published without the method ever achieving widespread acceptance in the engineering profession outside of academia. Now we have a book that is the first successful applications-oriented book-it focuses on the design of a controller for feedback control systems. Friedland, internationally known for his research contributions to the field, makes it his business at the outset to explain why state-space methods should be of interest to the reader, and emphasizes this whenever a new topic is introduced. His book is a total success. The mix of descriptive passages (including historical notes) and quantitative material is near perfect. The result is that this reviewer was willing to tackle the matrix-analysis based mathematics with a sense of purpose. Every topic has a place in an overall scheme, and it all hangs together. The physical examples-from areas as diverse as instrument servos, missile guidance, and distillation columns-keep the presentation firmly anchored to reality. Problems and references are included in each chapter. Recommended for graduate or advanced undergraduate engineering students.-G. Weiss, Polytechnic Institute of New York
