Outline of the Textbook

Chapter 1 presents the essential ideas of feedback and the generic components of a control system. Chapter 2 mainly reviews the techniques necessary to obtain the models of dynamic systems that we wish to control.
Chapter 3 covers dynamic response as used in control.

Outline of the Textbook (contd)

Chapter 4 introduces the basic properties of feedback. An analysis of the effects of feedback on tracking accuracy, disturbance rejection, and sensitivity to parameter changes is presented. Following the overview of feedback, the core of the book presents the design methods based on root locus, frequency response & state space in chapters 5, 6 & 7 respectively.
