Automatic Control Systems 9th Edition by Farid Golnaraghi (PDF)

Description

Automatic Control Systems provides engineers with a fresh new controls book that places special emphasis on mechatronics. It follows a revolutionary approach by actually including a physical lab. In addition, readers will find authoritative coverage of modern design tools and examples. Current mechatronics applications build motivation to learn the material. Extensive use of virtual lab software is also integrated throughout the chapters. Engineers will gain a strong understand of control systems with the help of modern examples and exercises.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐First off, let me say that I am an engineering student and have read many, many engineering textbooks. In my opinion, you will need to know the subject better than the author in order to navigate the numerous mathematical errors, leaps in logic, skipped steps, non-linear thinking, and lack of explanation. There are numerous places where he presents a subject by giving the problem and the graphed result, with no explanation of how one gets the graph (the very thing he is supposedly teaching). On subjects that I already learned from other classes / books, I still couldn’t follow the author’s discussion of the subject. He presents things in the most obscure, abstract way possible. He makes this subject much harder than it needs to be. If you get stuck with this book, buy a good supplement. Some books aren’t good to learn the subject from originally, but make good reference or review books. This is NOT the case here. Out of all the books I’ve used in classes, this is the only one I will get rid of when the class is over. The author should be ashamed.

⭐I was forced to use this book for a 400 level distance learning course. There are quite a few problems. First, the examples are fairly sparse and are not in the same form as the problems. That may not be an issue for a campus course where the lecture will clear things up, but for an online course the examples are critical. Second, the references to equations and figures seem to have been retained from an earlier version of the book and the equations and figures themselves have been changed. Since the text rarely repeats the equations (chapter 11 refers to an equation in chapter 5) finding the correct location must be done by trial and error. Finally, the review questions in each chapter often refer to material that has not been covered yet. I found myself often using the index to find things in later chapters just so I could answer the questions. If you are required to use this, especially for distance learning, I recommend getting a Schaum’s guide to see more problems. The only reason I am giving it 2 stars is because it has a lot of outstanding MATLAB examples and techniques.

⭐This has got to be the most error-riddled book that I’ve seen in my time at college. My professor has already had to email out almost 20 pages of errata for the first three chapters alone.For the ninth edition of a book, it really should be better proofed than that.Due to the quantity of errors, there’s simply no way I can recommend this book to anyone who is trying to learn control systems. Save your money and go elsewhere.

⭐This is without a doubt one of the worst books to learn control systems from. The errata for the book could be a chapter itself. There are hundreds or thousands of typos throughout the book (in text, examples, equations), so you never know if you should trust what the book is giving you or not. If you don’t understand a concept and stare at it for an hour or two, there’s a 100% chance the authors made a typo.Please if you’re a professor picking a book, pick ANYTHING else.

⭐This book would have received a 3 star review except for the fact that it has so many errors. In each chapter in the book I have counted at least 10 errors in the text (both syntactical and mathematical). A text past the first few editions should never have this many errors. Would not recommend for anyone learning feedback control systems.

⭐I can’t believe the amount of errors in this edition of this book. They are not merely typos, but some are mathmatical too! See the attached photo.

⭐Not recommended for kindle, it’s imposible to download it and of course to open it.

⭐This is a bad book on a difficult subject. You will need to find other sources to learn the material. How it has gotten to a 9th edition surprises and saddens me.

⭐great for any controls student

⭐Arrived before

⭐The order arrived in time. Very satisfied with the order!

⭐Tel que décrit sExcelente libro.
