Customer Reviews

Excellent book!
" A clear, readable text is supported by numerous worked example and problems." - Taken from product description.

That just about sums this book up.

I am in the final year of my HNC in electronic engineering and currently undertaking the control systems unit. I am studying this unit on my own, with occasional guidance from a lecturer.

This book is an invaluable guide for the Control unit. Highly readable, its the first engineering text book that I do not want to put down.

The maths examples may seem a bit vague at first, with whole pages of working out skipped over. This can leave you scratching your head wondering where the answer comes from, but after sitting with a pen and paper and working through your maths principles - you will become a lot more knowledgable on the units of Analytical Methods, Principles (mechanical or electronic), Science and of course Control Systems. It really is a form of applied engineering that gives real world examples of the theory learned on engineering courses.

I can't recommend this book enough for anyone on a HNC engineering course.
