Nonlinear control systems: An introduction (Q1061695)

From the author's preface: ''This volume was planned as a textbook for a graduate course on nonlinear multivariable feedback systems. Most of it was prepared while the author was teaching a similar course at the Department of Systems Sciences and Mathematics of the Washington University in St. Louis, in the 1983 fall semester. The purpose of the volume is to present a self-contained description of the fundamentals of the theory of nonlinear feedback control systems, with special emphasis on the differential-geometric approach.''
