This is a review of the international version bought from China. I am only dealing with the issues that make this book different from the US edition. The good news is the problems at the end of each chapter are the same as in the US edition. For me this is critical, it means that I don't have to make photocopies of the home work problems from a US edition. But there are some issues with this book. The appendixes and all the end of the book stuff is missing; only a few critical pages of it are there. However, the US edition doesn't have solutions to homework problems anyway so you are not missing anything there. You will be missing an appendix on Laplace Transforms and another on Complex Variables and some answers to "end of chapter question" that I doubt any professor will ever give as homework. Another issue is that this version is a completely different print than the US edition. The layout is different. It has an old fashioned, 1950’s text book, black and white layout that saves a lot of paper, but much more crowded and less pleasing to the eye. I classify this book as good because the text is all there and the problems at the end of the chapters are all there. Anything else would be gravy, but there isn’t anything else. No appendixes, color pictures, clean layout etc. Since I paid less than half the price, I don't mind the lack of luster this book has. At this price even its old fashioned layout has a bit of beauty to it.Read full review
This subject is actually very hard, but the book really explains and goes over the topics fairly well. You are definitely going to need to use another resource like a Differential Equations book to better understand this book, but the books pretty good.
The conceptual review questions at the end of each chapter are useful, as well as something that I don't see that often in engineering textbooks.
the international edition is not exactly like the hardcover book. the chapter problems are not numbered accordingly and some problems are missing. the contents mostly resemble so if the instructor assigns homework from the book, go for the hardcover one.
just the right book for anyone who wants to understand the control systems...starts with fundamentals and take you thru real physical applications to better understand the concepts...
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS AND HAVE NOT RECIEVE MY BOOK! I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE SELLAR EVER EVEN AFTER PURCHASING MY BOOK! BEWARE OF SELLAR I AM STILL TRYING TO STRAIGHT THIS OUT.
