Features: This book primarily introduces the fundamental concepts, basic methods, and information processing in classical control theory, as well as system analysis and synthesis. The content includes basic concepts of control systems, mathematical models, time-domain analysis, frequency-domain analysis, design and compensation of control systems, linear discrete systems, state-space analysis, computer-aided analysis based on state equations, and the application and analysis of control systems. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises, and reference answers to the exercises are provided at the end of the book. The book blurs the boundary between classical and modern control, organically integrating both. It emphasizes the introduction of fundamental concepts, principles, and methods, with a particular focus on practical applications. In addition to providing numerous examples in mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems in each chapter, the book dedicates a separate chapter to introducing and analyzing successful case studies of control theory applications in engineering. The material is up-to-date, discarding outdated content while prioritizing advanced analytical and computational methods. The explanations are clear and accessible, balancing knowledge transfer with the cultivation of innovative thinking. This book is one of the main reference texts for the Ministry of Education's New Century Network Course.
