Features: This book elaborates on the basic concepts, principles, and various analytical methods of classical control theory, with a focus on linear continuous systems and discrete systems in both time and frequency domains. The main content includes the analysis of system dynamic performance, static performance, stability, and various design methods. The book primarily covers linear continuous systems, with related content introduced in the first six chapters. Nonlinear system analysis (using the describing function method and phase plane method), as well as the analytical methods of discrete systems and the fundamentals of modern control theory, are discussed in Chapters 7, 8, and 9, respectively. The detailed solutions to the exercises in the book can be found in the companion book, "Solutions to Problems of Automatic Control Theory." This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students in related fields such as automation, instrumentation, electrical drives, computer science, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, aerospace, and others. It can also be used as a reference for engineering professionals seeking further study.
