Basic Concepts of Linear Systems

Introduction
Feedback control is a centuries old tool applied to quite primitive machinery in its earliest days.
The last century saw an explosion of applications as mankind conceived of new machines and
devicesformanufacturing,communication,landandairtravel,spaceexplorationandmore.These
applicationsprovokednewfunctionalitiesofcontrolthatrequiredadeeperunderstandingofhow
control systems worked. Hence, control systems emerged as a true engineering science. In this
chapter the basic structure of control systems will be discussed along with a brief history of the
evolution of the control discipline to where it is today. The chapter ends with a summary of the
remainderofthebook.
