Introduction to control systems -- Mathematical modeling of control systems -- Mathematical modeling of mechanical systems and electrical systems -- Mathematical modeling of fluid systems and thermal systems -- Transient and steady-state response analyses -- Control systems analysis and design by the root-locus method -- Control systems analysis and design by the frequency-response method -- PID controllers and modified PID controllers -- Control systems analysis in state space -- Control systems design in state space -- Appendix A : Laplace transform tables -- Appendix B : Partial-fraction expansion -- Appendix C : Vector-matrix algebra.

Ogata's Modern Control Engineering, 5/e , offers the comprehensive coverage of continuous-time control systems that all senior students must have, including frequency response approach, root-locus approach, and state-space approach to analysis and design of control systems. The text provides a gradual development of control theory, shows how to solve all computational problems with MATLAB, and avoids highly mathematical arguments. A wealth of examples and worked problems are featured throughout the text.
