Hallmark Features
  • Design Examples - Incorporates progressive design examples in the form of case studies, which use the same practical system. Thus, students are given a realistic view of each stage in the control system design process.
  • Pedagogy - Highlights chapter objectives, summaries and design examples.
  • Exercises and Problems - Includes numerous in-chapter exercises, end-of-chapter problems, design examples, and design problems, including a progressive design analysis problem, which uses the same physical system.
  • Skill-assessment exercises - These exercises test the student's ability to perform the analysis and design skills immediately discussed, thus strengthening student understanding and the ability to apply material to practical problems.
  • MATLAB - Tutorials show how to use MATLAB in analyzing and designing control systems. In addition, MATLAB-based in-chapter exercises and end-of-chapter problems give students the opportunity to apply what they've learned. All MATLAB code is contained within an appendix and does not interfere with the teaching of control system principles. At key spots in the text the reader is directed to the proper place in the appendix to find the applicable MATLAB tutorial and code.
  • State-Space Methods - Includes an optional, but integrated introduction to state-space methods of analyzing and designing control systems. State-space material is clearly marked with an icon and can be skipped without loss of continuity, or this material may be covered as a separate module. Nise's coverage provides instructors with flexibility in terms of teaching approach.
