Dawson,
The series will stress applications issues, and not just the mathematics of control engineering. It will provide texts that not only contain an expose of new and well-established techniques, but also will present detailed examples of the application of these methods to the solution of real-world problems. . . This new series will present books that draw on expertise from both the academic world and the applications domains, and will be useful not only as academically recommended course texts but also as handbooks for practitioners in many applications domains. ---Neil Munro, Professor of Applied Control Engineering The Control Systems Centre, Department of Electrical Engineering and Electronics The University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology Manchester, England
