This book is a compendium of essays on various science related topics which are at the cutting edge of modern science and technology. Sixteen different science topics are discussed in the book, which include origin and evolution of the universe, the microscopic world of the atom, unification of the forces of nature, our planet earth and its neighbors, modern developments in synthetic biology, global warming, artificial intelligence and the explosive growth of information technology. The book exposes its readers having a modest science background to some of the most exciting developments in modern science. Keeping this in view the discussion is kept at a simple level without excessive use of mathematics and abstract concepts. While aiming at simplicity and coherence every effort is made not to compromise on accuracy. We are living in an era where scientists specializing in a particular area are hardly aware of the happenings in related disciplines. This book aims at bridging this gap. Finally there are sizable sections of science educated lay public who are curious to understand the how and the why of modern scientific developments at a very basic level. It is hoped that this book will be helpful in satisfying their curiosity.
During the past decade, significant advances have taken place in the area of robust control. Unfortunately, many of these developments are scattered in research publications and are accessible only to a selected group of experts. Often, the original ideas and the motivations for pursuing a particular path are lost in a maze of mathematical formalism. Robust Control of Linear Dynamical Systems is intended to bring these important ideas and techniques to the attention of a wider audience. The author uses a step-by-step approach to guide the reader through this sometimes difficult material. Mathematical rigor is balanced with readability to provide the reader with an easy understanding of the important aspects of robust control. The book is suitable as a textbook for students in engineering with some previous exposure to linear system theory. Itis equally appropriate as a self-study guide for those interested in acquiring a deeper knowledge of robust control design. . It is essentially self contained and the principal concepts involved have been developed right from the fundamentals. . While the main emphasis is on state space, the operator and functional formalism has been given adequate weight. . One chapter has been exclusively devoted to Kharitonov theory and related developments. . The pedagogic nature of the book has been further enhanced by providing exercises at the end of every chapter.
