Control Systems describes the essential elements of control system engineering in a simple language that can be understood by students at the undergraduate level. With a rich assortment of solved problems, exercise problems, review questions and objective type questions across 15 chapters, the book is designed to provide the student an exposure to the key functionalities of the concept in real-time applications. In addition, there is an elaborate appendix on the applications of MATLAB as a computational tool in nearly all fields of science and engineering. PowerPoint slides that encapsulate the essential points of each chapter, as also the solutions to chapter-end problems are available as online supplements that can be accessed at www.universitiespress.com/kalicemary/controlsystems
