本書序言

We fed that this Eighth Edition presents the material with good pedagogical support, provides strong motivation for the study of control, and represents a solid foundation for meeting the educational challenges, We introduce the study of feedback control, both as a specialty of itself and as support for many other fields.
     A more detailed list of the changes is:
. Deleted the disk drive and tape drive examples from Chapters 2, 7, and 10
. Added drone examples and/or problems in Chapters 2, 5, 6, 7, and 10
. Added a thermal system control example to Chapters 2 and 4
. Added a section on anti-windup for integral control in Chapter 9
. Added Cramer's Rule to chapter 2 and Appendix WB
. Updated Matlab commands throughout the book and in Appendix C
. Updated the section on PID tuning in chapter 4
. Updated the engine control and chemotaxis case studies in Chapter 10
. Over 60 of the problems in this edition are either new or revised from the 7th edition

本書特色

A comprehensive and easy-to-understand introduction is devoted to supporting students equally in their need to grasp both traditional and more modern topics of digital control.
●AUpdated - New material has been added based on user feedback (e.g., on drone dynamics and control) and the text has been updated throughout to include the improved features of MATLAB®.
· An entire chapter devoted to case studies covers real problems in a variety of fields and draws on all the design methods covered in the book.
· Historical Perspectives provide interesting but concise historical background sections for the material in each chapter. 
。An emphasis on design, beginning in Chapter 4, builds confidence in solving design problems from the start.
。Examples compare and contrast the design techniques afforded by the different design methods and complex real-world design problems are attacked using all the methods in a unified way.
。Relationships used in design and throughout the book are collected inside the back cover for easy reference.
●Updated - New examples, updates, and additions keep the material relevant and up-to-date.
●New - Over 60 of the problems in this edition are either new or revised from the previous edition.
●A collection of all the Matlab files (both “m” files and SIMULINK “slx” files), along with additional material, are available at www.pearsonglobaleditions.com.
