Feedback and Control of Dynamic Systems (Addison-Wesley series in electrical and computer engineering)

This introductory book provides an in-depth, comprehensive treatment of a collection of classical and state-space approaches to control system designand ties the methods together so that a designer is able to pick the method that best fits the problem at hand. It includes case studies and comprehensive examples with close integration of MATLAB throughout the book. Chapter topics include an overview and brief history of feedback control, dynamic models, dynamic response, basic properties of feedback, the root-locus design method, the frequency-response design method, state-space design, digital control, and control-system design. A basic reference for control systems engineers.
