Features: This book is a textbook for the "Automatic Control Theory" course in engineering universities. In handling the relationship between traditional control theory and state-space control theory, this book neither strictly separates the two nor forces their "integration," but adopts a method of "unified mathematical description and separate engineering research." In the presentation of state-space control theory, the book strives to avoid monotonous and lengthy mathematical proofs, instead focusing on connecting with engineering realities. These features make the book maintain the necessary theoretical level while being suitable for practical teaching. The first part of the book covers the mathematical description of control systems (both traditional and state-space) and most of the content of traditional control theory. The second part mainly discusses state-space control theory and optimal control, except for sampled control and nonlinear control. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in electrical engineering and other disciplines in engineering universities, as well as a reference for scientists and engineers.
