Preface

Aims

This book aims to provide an insight into the basic principles of control engineering and how these can be used to model the behaviour of such systems. The intention is to provide a book which considers in every-day language the principles involved with control systems without excessive emphasis on mathematics; familiarity with calculus notation and algebraic dexterity has, however, been assumed. As such, the book is ideal for higher level vocational courses and first studies of the topic at degree level.

The content has been carefully matched to cover the latest UK syllabuses, in particular the new specifications for BTEC Higher National in Engineering from Edexcel for the unit Control Systems and Automation.
