Features: This book comprehensively covers the main content of the undergraduate "Automatic Control Theory" course and serves as a fundamental textbook for university undergraduates. In handling the relationship between traditional control theory and state-space control theory, the book adopts the approach of "unified mathematical description and separate engineering research." In the presentation of state-space control theory, the book strives to avoid monotonous mathematical arguments and instead focuses on connecting with engineering realities. These features ensure that the book maintains the necessary theoretical level while being suitable for practical teaching. The first part of the book discusses the mathematical description of control systems (both classical and state-space) and most of the content of classical control theory, while the second part, in addition to covering nonlinear systems and sampled systems, primarily focuses on state-space control theory and optimal control. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in automation, as well as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students in related control disciplines, as well as for scientists, engineers, and technical personnel.
