Digital systems are now all-pervasive in industry and university courses are now constrained to recognise this fact. This text is designed to meet the requirements of the current nature of such courses. The text introduces the computational efficiency of the micro-controller in terms of real-time control applications. It provides a step-by-step approach to classical and fuzzy control system design, assuming no previous subject experience by the reader. Through its case studies, based upon the author's own work, it provides the reader with a clear exposition of the applications of the material. Extensive use of the MATLAB software specifically designed for these applications, provides the reader with a range of skills in the use of these powerful techniques for problem-solving. The book assumes no previous knowledge of the subject. All of the specific mathematics topics required for the subject are covered in the book and the reader is expected to have mathematics only up to Laplace Transforms and Fourier Analysis. There is strong emphasis on practical case material with many examples and exercises.
