This landmark in the development of the state space approach was written by two pioneers in the field. It chiefly concerns the technique's application to systems described by differential equations. Problems of stability and controllability receive particular attention, and connections between this approach and classical techniques are highlighted. 1963 edition. Unabridged republication of the work originally published by the McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc., New York, 1963.
