Summary: Clarity defined
Comment: This textbook is an extremely comfortable read. It covers a lot of material, including fundamentals of state space and digital control. Its clarity and excellent writing ensures that the reader is never sidetracked trying to resolve what's being conveyed. The introductory chapter alone reveals the quality of this text.
The organization, including the two comprehensive case studies, is perfect throughout the book. The prerequiste is nothing more than a full course on electric circuits (ideally). This book is probably my favourite one among my fifty plus engineering textbooks.

Summary: Great Text!!
Comment: As a student in control systems engineering, I found this text to be very valuable (I had the 3rd Edition then). As an engineer, I found it to be my everyday reference. A few years back, I jumped ship from the engineering field and have obtained a PhD in another field of science and to my surprise, I still reference this text today. Great Text!! Dorf and Bishop is not bad but Nise takes first place.

Summary: Best Book for understanding the fundamentals of Control Systems
Comment: Norman Nise has done a great job with this book.This book is a first hand guide for beginners who have absolutely no knowledge of Control Systems and its purposes. The book with its details of each methodology & its purposes gives an indepth view of the subject. This is excellent tool for beginners (for understanding the fundamentals) and gradually upgrading to a better level by able to design systems. The Skill Assessment Exercises are able to bring out the key techniques to solve any problem. A must buy for all people interested in Control Systems Engineering and looking for a book where fundamentals can be cleared.

Summary: Very well written but a bit too "Mickey Mouse"
Comment: For an applied math (and physics, to an extent) text, it is surprisingly interesting! The chapters are pretty easy reads but the coverage is thorough. In fact, it's too thorough at times. Nise has a little habit of taking a relatively simple concept and beating it to death. However, this is a good thing if you're a slow learner.
My one complaint is the "Mickey Mouse" factor. The problems are just too simple on the whole. I enjoy simple problems, but there aren't enough challenging ones. Even the long "practical" problems are generally pretty easy. Even so, the use of MATLAB in many of the problems is excellent.
A great feedback and control systems book. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Great engineering textbook
Comment: This is a textbook that's actually worth the price. Definitely one of the best engineering textbooks I have come across. The explanations are clear and precise, and the questions are stimulating. It's a great book to learn the fundamentals of control systems.
