Linear systems

Linear systems theory plays a broad and fundamental role in electrical, mechanical, chemical and aerospace engineering, communications, and signal processing.

A thorough introduction to systems theory with emphasis on control is presented in this self-contained textbook, written for a challenging one-semester graduate course.

A solutions manual is available to instructors upon adoption of the text.

The book's flexible coverage and self-contained presentation also make it an excellent reference guide or self-study manual.

For a treatment of linear systems that focuses primarily on the time-invariant case using streamlined presentation of the material with less formal and more intuitive proofs, please see the authors' companion book entitled "A Linear Systems Primer".
