Applied Control (Volume 1)


Author: Dr. Alireza Sharifi




Applied Control, 2020.
I took everything I learned in the past 10 years about control theory and wrote it in this book. I like step-by-step explanations, so that is how I wrote the book. I tried to make it clear, but also included recent research results. It includes over 100 examples, and written exercises. Matlab code for the computer examples can be downloaded from this web site.


Overview

The textbook "Applied Control" is based on my 10 years of academic research and experimental experience. The goal of this text is to present implementaion of control theory in the most clear yet rigorous way possible, while providing enough advanced material so that the reader is prepared to implement the control theory to the state of the art.
There are already many fine books on implementaion of control theory, which raises the question: Why yet another textbook on this topic? After teaching a control systems laboratory course for many years and reading many books on the subject, I thought that I would be able to write a book that better met the needs of my students, and that also might better meet the needs of others. The reason I wrote this book is to offer a pedagogical approach, perspective, and material that is not available in any other single book. In particular, I hope that this book will offer the following.
◉ A straightforward approach that assists the reader in obtaining a clear.
◉ Simple examples that provide the reader with an intuitive understanding of implementaion of control theory.
◉ MATLAB/SIMULINK source code for all of the examples in the book are available on this web page.
