About this title

Book Description

Since linearity lies at the heart of much applied mathematical analysis, a firm grounding in its central ideas is essential. Recommended for first-year graduate students, this classic textbook develops linear systems in a thorough yet intuitive way, providing a solid foundation for learning about dynamical systems.

About the Author

Roger W. Brockett is the An Wang Research Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. He taught for six years in the Electrical Engineering Department at MIT before joining the Harvard faculty in 1969, from which he retired in 2012. He has contributed to the theory of automatic control with work on stability, nonlinear control, feedback linearization, nonlinear estimation, pole placement, hybrid systems, and robotics. More recently his work has involved problems arising in the study of intelligent machines. Areas of particular interest include the problem of motion control, minimum attention control, synchronization, and the investigation of new paradigms in quantum control. Professor Brockett has been recognized with awards from the American Automatic Control Council, IEEE, ASME, and SIAM for his contributions to research and education. He is a fellow of the IEEE, SIAM, and AMS and is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering.
