Using the tools of optimal, robust and adaptive control, the authors develop the theory and practice of high performance control in a real world environment. The book presupposes standard knowledge of linear algebra, probability theory, linear dynamical systems and control theory.

"Examples...include control of a hard disk drive, control of a heat exchanger, and aerospace resonance suppression. ...Three appendices...make the text basically self-contained... Most chapters also contain short problem sections. ...Throughout the book, the authors maintain their focus on real-world application issues while presenting theoretically rigorous mathematical developments. ...Other useful features of the book are a list of figures, an eight-page bibliography, an author index, and a ten-page subject index." -Computing Reviews
