Suitable for a first-year graduate and advanced undergraduate course in any field of engineering, the text spans a broad range of linear system theory concepts. The text requires only knowledge of basic signals and systems theory, but takes the reader all the way through state feedback theory, observers, Kalman filters, and elementary LQG control. The book begins with a review of linear algebra and vector spaces, covering topics such as subspaces, orthogonal projections, and inner products. Then it proceeds to linear differential methods, covering topics that are often given in controls texts as the linear systems "basics." The book contains margin notes identifying applicable MATLAB (and Control System Toolbox) commands and functions, with a reference for command-line usage.
