The Fundamentals of Control Theory

Thanks for all of the support over the years! I've been asked by many of you to provide a PDF of my videos so that you can refer back to them when you're not watching on YouTube. Instead of just providing a PDF I've decided to write an ebook that will hopefully make more sense than just a bunch of screen shots tied together.

Cheers!

I've decided to do my PhD in control system engineering because of you :)

[Mr.Sizzlin]

Not only did this new make my day, it made my week, month, year, etc. Your videos have played an integral role in my understanding of control theory. Thank you so much for all of the work you put into your videos! You ARE the man!

I'd buy that for $100 hands down.
Once you saved me with a video that came out literally the minute I needed it. I was programming a software PID loop and after watching the video, I finished it with little effort.

[Lemonickous]

Great, so the guy who was instrumental in me even beginning to understand Control Theory and thus passing my masters degree (without a background in control), is thanking me for watching his videos :P

[ahmhmd]

I am an Aeronautical Engineering Masters student and I just came by your videos, those are really great and simple to understand complex and important topics
Thank you

[echoofsilence]

Thanks, Brian! Control Theory was my most difficult class in undergrad, since our professor wasn't as clear as he could have been with his own method even though he was an industry leader. This should be very helpful as a refresher!

[stolenzephyr]

Your lectures have helped me so much in my class this semester. I love your commitment to education! It's incredible!

[nicksot]

Brian words can't describe how grateful I am. I've been watching your video for a long time and man I learnt so much from you. I just bought your book and I wish I could donate more money. Keep up the good work.

Cheers from Greece

[achmdz]

not a single dislike shows that your work cannot be left unappreciated!

[samshue]

I can't wait for the full book to come out! These lectures have been the absolute best resource for this material I have seen.

[kevineppenga]

I really would not have expected it, but you got me interested in the field of control theory. When I had the lectures at my faculty I really was not able to see the bigger picture, but now I do because of you! So thank you! I'll definitely look at your book!

[xristoforosgav]

Wow! Well done! Your work is making the world better, seriously! It's not just the control knowledge, but also the fact that you want to give this knowledge freely to everyone. I think that's inspiring and you should be an exaple to everyone! I thank you personaly! Your videos helped me a lot!

[Kalyan]

I always thought that it would be good if you release a book that contains all the worthy knowledge you have taught us in videos, and here it is. Thank you.
If I may, I want to ask you to include the linking part where we link the theoretical part and the real part that we have to deal with in real life.
The control theory laboratory you have provided was very good. We want more of it. That is how we get to know where we can apply all the knowledge we have gained so far.
You are great and thanks.

[juliaanduchateau]

These video's are helping me with my engineering studies. I donated and downloaded the book! Thank you.

[luizschmi]

Thank you Brian, you help me understand Control 1 easily. I translate everything to my language(Portuguese) to help my classmates to understand and discuss your lectures!

[koscarica]

Oh here is the link to the book. Im excited. Thank you.

[Thesinter]

Thank you so muck Brian. Among all there tresh and useless videos across the Web, you help peolple to develop their knowledge and to learn something new and really useful. Your book is interesting and exciting! What a pity it's only 100 pages!

[siddharthsrivastava]

I expected the book to be more then 2 chapters, based on your videos, but I guess these things take time. I can, t wait to see the finished book. We need a section on "controllability and observability" of systems which I think is very crucial concept for system analysis. ... BTW, I really enjoyed your video in bilinear transforms... keep it up.

[yurypal]

PDF is great. What also came to my mind and I hope to see someday, - an interactive e-book (similar to what you find in iTunes book store) with chunks of these fantastic videos Brian has already created embedded in, with a bit more detailed explanations in text underneath. It's a bit platform-restrictive, but still epub format can be opened pretty much anywhere. Either way, keep on going, Brian. Good luck!

[chuchuokeke]

They might not know it but this man and Tony Kuphaldt are brothers of a special order. Thank you Brian Douglas, Thanks to all who supported BD.
