This book deals with the fundamental aspects of time and frequency modelling, analysis and control of continuous-time linear systems, planning to solve the regulator or tracking problems. The approach made is the "classical" or "conventional" one and consists in design methods based on a suitable shaping of the transmission and loop gain functions, employing pole-zero techniques. This approach cannot be disregarded in comparison with "modern" control theory; on the contrary, we believe that the classical approach is well established and proven by practice, and distinguishes as a collection of sensible and useful goals and problem formulations.
