Control Systems Engineering / S. Salivahanan, R. Rengaraj and G.R. Venkartakrishnan

It includes index.

Control Systems Engineering caters to the requirements of an interdisciplinary course on Control Systems at the under- graduate level. Featuring a balanced coverage of time response and frequency response analyses, the book provides an in-depth review of key topics such as components, modelling techniques and reduction techniques, well-augmented by clear illustrations.
