The task of learning control theory for a biologist or for an outsider from another scientific field is not easy. I read and reread the classic introductory texts of control theory. I learned the basic principles and gained the ability to analyze simple models of control. The core of the engineering theory shares many features with my

The book is intended as a companion on the journey through control theory, and although the early chapters concentrate on fundamental ideas such as feedback and stability, later chapters deal with more advanced topics such as state variables, optimisation, estimation, Kalman filtering and robust control.
This is control and knowing its main concepts is important. • Much of control theory is esoteric and difficult • 90% of the real world applications are based on 10% of the existing control methods and theory • The course is about these 10%

Control techniques such as feedback can dramatically increase the performance of your experimental apparatus, and most experimentalists, by necessity, pick up a cer-tain amount of control theory informally. The results are often ok, but with a bit of savvy, they can usually be made much better. In this book, you will learn how to set the parameters...
From theoretical physicists, a remark about control theory that I have heard is, “That’s just engineering and linear systems” – said, if not with a sneer, then with an implica-tion that there is nothing fundamental to interest a theoretical physicist. I hope to convince you that such sentiments give short shrift to one of the great ideas of the twe...
xi Keeping this book to a reasonable size led to a rather ruthless competition, and much valuable material had to be cut. I apologize for all the pretty and important topics – Nyquist stability criterion! – that are not present.
University libraries have shelves full of control-theory books. Why write another? Existing control-theory books are mostly written either for engineers or for control theoreticians and mathematicians. For a physicist, neither type of book is quite right. The mathematical approach is usually concise but not great at shaping intuitions. The engineer...
“The problems are an essential part of the text.” Such platitudes are often found in textbook prefaces, but here it really is true. I try to demystify the problems as much as possible, while still leaving something for you to do. The goal is that you should be able to know whether you have done the problem correctly. Sometimes, I ask you to “Show t...
I am grateful for the support of many friends and colleagues: Albert Libchaber, Jean-Christophe Géminard, Normand Fortier, and Ray Goldstein first encouraged me to take my interest in control theory seriously. Simon Capelin proposed a book and was incredibly patient; Nicholas Gibbons, along with Róisín Munnelly and Henry Cock-burn, saw it to comple...

12.2 Classical Linear Control Classical linear control relies heavily upon mathematical techniques from complex variable theory. This is apparently an historical consequence of the importance of frequency analyses of feedback amplifiers, which motivated much of the development of classical control theory, as well as a consequence of the
