This introduction to state-space methods brings together core tools used in feedback control and the analysis of dynamic systems. Coverage includes state-space representation and the dynamics of linear systems, alongside frequency-domain analysis and the concepts of controllability and observability. The text also addresses shaping dynamic response, extending into linear observers and compensator design via the separation principle.

Further topics include linear quadratic optimum control, random processes and Kalman filters, offering a structured route from foundational modelling to more advanced design and estimation methods. Originally issued as a 1986 edition, it sits within the science, mathematics and engineering field.
