Abstract
In this Chapter we review the main results of the theory of automatic control. Our presentation follows the historical development of the control theory and assumes at least the undergraduate level of exposure to this subject. The material is organized as follows:
-
Section 1.1: Automatic control before the telecommunications revolution in the 1930’s
-
Section 1.2: The classical period of automatic control (between the 1930’s and the 1950’s)
-
Section 1.3: The modern control theory (after the 1950’s)
