Textbook in PDF format This problem and solution-oriented textbook covers standard control engineering tasks as well as advanced modern control techniques. Throughout, students are provided examples of control engineering problems with step-by-step solutions. Each chapter addresses basic ideas, key control concepts, and definitions and provides a compilation of theoretical results used for the solution of the problems. The book is aimed not only at engineering students and practitioners but also computer science students and software engineers who, for instance, are working on the design of autonomous cars or with digital twins and need some knowledge of basic control concepts and advanced modern control techniques. The book addresses graduate students and readers in the overlap of engineering and computer science. The book aims to further their understanding of theoretical results learned in undergraduate control classes or in textbooks; the book shows them how to apply their knowledge in exercises to small problems and to see how some examples of problems can be solved. Whenever possible, the problems have been solved by means of the open-source software GNU Octave. In some cases, also the free open-source mathematical software Scilab has been used
