From the Back Cover
What types of control systems will you face in the real world?
The same ones you′ll face in Nise′s Fourth Edition of CONTROL SYSTEMS ENGINEERING.
Emphasizing the practical application of control systems engineering, this Fourth Edition shows how to analyze and design real–world feedback control systems that support today′s advanced technologies. The text presents material in a logical and progressive way that builds and supports your understanding of key concepts, and provides insight into the design of system configurations and parameters, using both qualitative and quantitative explanations. As an added benefit, you′ll learn how to apply MATLAB®–industry standard computer software–to the analysis and design of control systems.
Key Features
- Presents clearly defined steps for design problems.
- Progressive case studies, which use the same physical system in each chapter, provide a realistic view of each stage of the control system design process.
- Skill–assessment exercises at the conclusion of most sections test your ability to perform the analysis and design discussed. In addition, the text provides numerous in–chapter examples, review questions, and problems.
- Tutorials in the appendices introduce you to the latest versions of MATLAB, the Control System Toolbox, Simulink®, the Symbolic Math Toolbox, and MATLAB′s graphical user interface (GUI) tools (the LTI Viewer, the Simulink LTI Viewer, and the SISO Design Tool).
- Experiments using MATLAB, Simulink, and the SISO Design tool at the end of most chapters give you the opportunity to expand your knowledge by performing "what if" experimentation.
- An accompanying CD–ROM provides valuable additional material, such as stand–alone computer applications, electronic files of the text′s computer programs for use with MATLAB, additional appendices, and complete solutions to skill–assessment exercises.
- Control Solutions powered by JustAsk!®, an online problem–solving tool, walks you step–by–step through over 150 end–of–chapter problems and skill–assessment exercises. Available at extra cost.

I bought this book to use with my degree course (Electronic and Electrical Eng), I found this book to be really explanatory and the examples are excellent, knowledge is required for this book but does give examples if the reader has not seen any of the principles before. I would recommend this book if you are doing Control theory at university, as it gives a good grounding, and goes into a good amount of detail, and also gives information on books to read if you want to read more about certain topics for instance Digital filter design.

Hi there :)
It is my pleasure to have bought this for a control subject on campus. I took some time before writing a reasonable and useful review on this textbook.
This book contains rigid foundation and step-by-step problem solving plus real-life examples. Look no further, if you are searching for another good, informative, giving firm understanding on foundations textbook. Undergraduate course is likely to be more suitable due to the aforementioned nature of the textbook.
This textbook is a big competitor to the one from Dorf + Bishop (Modern Control Engineering). Mind you that both of these textbooks are both equally great, with more emphasis on math background for the case of Dorf one.
Good luck for you all :)

This book is almost the best except for one thing...
26 Dec 2004
Format:Hardcover
This text is the good control systems textbook model to learn from, as an author. Nise is made for undergraduates to master control systems concepts in both state-space and transform domains. Generally, it lacks a lot of details in state-space area; it is almost a complete coverage of classical control basic concepts.
The organization of the text is not just good. It makes this text more like the only well organized text you ,may, find every 10 texts you read!
However, the text assumes you have a background in the basic differential equations and laplace transform. It connects the mathematics you know with the system model in an outstanding way that really make you visualize the system dynamics just perfectly! Surly, that depends, somehow, on the reader's motivation toward learning the concept. Although the text doesn't cover thoroughly the state-space approach, it connects both domains in your mind that make you able to see the system poles in the time domain! You are absolutely right to say 'So what!, I know all about Eignvalues and eigenvectors!', it shows you it if you don't. So, if you do know the subject well then maybe you shouldn't buy this introductory level text at all!
The bottom line is: I strongly recommend this text for classical control systems course during the undergraduate level. However, I would only recommend to use it in the state-space course as a supplementary text besides some good state-space text like Brogan.

Very well written but a bit too "Mickey Mouse"
6 Oct 2005
Format:Hardcover
For an applied math (and physics, to an extent) text, it is surprisingly interesting! The chapters are pretty easy reads but the coverage is thorough. In fact, it's too thorough at times. Nise has a little habit of taking a relatively simple concept and beating it to death. However, this is a good thing if you're a slow learner.
My one complaint is the "Mickey Mouse" factor. The problems are just too simple on the whole. I enjoy simple problems, but there aren't enough challenging ones. Even the long "practical" problems are generally pretty easy. Even so, the use of MATLAB in many of the problems is excellent.
A great feedback and control systems book. I highly recommend it.

Well presented and easy to understand
7 Feb 2003
Format:Textbook Binding
This book is excellent!!. It is well presented and easy to understand. It did not assume that the reader knows the basic and explains the essence that is needed to follow through the subject. Control System is a subject that I had problem grasping while doing my undergraduates because I was thrown with all the mathematical formulas and left to make sense out of them. In short I did not learn much from school. Control system was a dark side for me until I discovered this book. Now I understand more than before and I am read it like a story book. This book made me helped so much that I am compelled to write this review. I wish I had this book earlier. This is the kind of book that I have been searching for all this while
