CONTROL SYSTEMS - M GOPAL - McGraw-Hill Education

Introduction
The third edition of Control Systems: Principles and Design provides a unified treatment of continuous-time and discrete-time systems for two courses at the undergraduate level. The text continues to emphasize on frequency-domain design methods augmented with state variable methods for control systems analysis.
