Features: This book is a summary of the author's years of experience in teaching reform. It organically combines the teaching content of classical control theory and modern control theory, introducing the control theories of continuous and discrete systems within a unified theoretical framework. As a result, it can cover more content in fewer class hours, adapting to the development of automatic control. The first chapter introduces the basic concepts of automatic control; the second chapter introduces the mathematical models of continuous systems, such as state space, differential equations, transfer functions, block diagrams, signal flow graphs, and frequency characteristics, as well as their interrelationships; the third chapter introduces sampling and holding in discrete systems, difference equations and Z-transforms, and the mathematical models of discrete systems and their interrelationships. Chapters 4 to 6 respectively introduce the analysis methods for system performance, such as stability, dynamic performance and steady-state error, controllability, and observability. Building on system analysis, Chapters 7 to 9 respectively introduce frequency domain design, state feedback control, state observer design, and optimal control design methods. In the final chapter, from a practical perspective, it introduces experimental modeling methods based on the least squares method, bridging the gap between control theory and engineering applications. This book can serve as a textbook for electrical and information engineering majors such as automation, electrical engineering and automation, electronic information engineering, computer science and technology, and communication engineering, as well as for other non-automation majors.
