Calculus of variations; Maths for engineers; Industrial quality control

A paperback edition of this successful textbook for final year undergraduate mathematicians and control engineering students, this book contains exercises and many worked examples, with complete solutions and hints making it ideal not only as a class textbook but also for individual study. The intorduction to optimal control begins by considering the problem of minimizing a function of many variables, before moving on to the main subject: the optimal control of systems governed by ordinary differential equations.
