A First Course in Control System Design

A First Course in Control System Design, 2nd Edition, is a textbook that presents control systems design from a model-based perspective for single-input single-output dynamic system models. Published by River Publishers and written by Kamran Iqbal, the text emphasizes understanding and applying design methods across multiple engineering disciplines.

The volume addresses both time-domain and frequency-domain approaches. It covers controller design for continuous-time and discrete-time systems alongside foundational concepts in system modeling, analysis, and feedback control.

To support computational implementation, the textbook incorporates extensive use of MATLAB and its Control Systems Toolbox throughout the design process.
