资 源 简 介
Striking developments have taken place since 1980 in feedback control theory. The subject has be-
come both more rigorous and more applicable. The rigor is not for its own sake, but rather that even
in an engineering discipline rigor can lead to clarity and to methodical solutions to problems. The
applicability is a consequence both of new problem formulations and new mathematical solutions
to these problems. Moreover, computers and software have changed the way engineering design is
done. These developments suggest a fresh presentation of the subject, one that exploits these new
developments while emphasizing their connection with classical control.
