Reader Reviews
Youll need an engineering background (preferably electrical) and you will need to have done introductory control systems analysis to understand whats going on. Book is a solid reference biased to practical physical systems. Gives the electrical network analogies as well as dynamical analysis - many pictures, very simple english explanations - very much practical bent. Plenty of maths - but in that simple 1960's style that can be understood, even by me. None of that maths jibberish that makes your eyes glaze over. Recommended.
