"Although I have been teaching linear control systems engineering to mechanical engineering undergraduate students for the last twenty years or so, I was never motivated to write a book on the subject until i had the opportunity to teach controls together with a first course in dynamics in the same academic quarter. This enable me to directly compare the structure, style and student use of the required text in each subject. such a comparison proved quite enlightening. The subject matter was group into discrete amount of that could be comfortably covered in one lecture."
