Methods of classical and modern theory of automatic control . In 5 volumes" by K. A. Pupkova and his colleagues are a large-scale and in-depth study in the field of automation and management, which will be of interest to both students and professionals in this field. This publication is a true guide to the complex concepts and techniques that underlie automatic control, and covers both classical approaches and modern technologies. In the first volumes, the authors immerse the reader in the foundations of the theory of automatic control, starting with classical methods, such as control along a given trajectory and feedback systems. Each section is written taking into account that the reader can not only understand the theoretical aspects, but also see their application in practice. This makes the book especially useful for engineering students who study disciplines related to automation, as well as for engineers working in the development and implementation of management systems. Modern technologies such as adaptive control, neural networks, and machine learning techniques are discussed in the second and third volumes. These sections will be especially interesting for those who want to be at the forefront of new technologies and apply them in real projects. The authors not only explain how these methods work, but also offer practical examples, which allows the reader to better digest the material and see how theoretical concepts are implemented in real systems. The book also raises important topics such as the reliability of control systems, safety and sustainability. These aspects are becoming increasingly relevant in light of the current challenges related to automation and digitalization. Readers will be able to learn about how to ensure the reliability and security of automated systems, which is a key factor for the successful introduction of technology in industry and everyday life. The style of the author and his colleagues is distinguished by the clarity and accessibility of the presentation, which makes complex topics more understandable. Pupkov K. A. is known for his work in automation and control, and his experience allows a deeper understanding of the subject. The book uses graphs, diagrams and examples, which helps to visualize the material and facilitates the learning process. This makes the book ideal for those who prefer visual perception of information. The book "Methods of classical and modern theory of automatic control" will be of interest not only to students and graduate students, but also to practicing engineers, researchers and anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge in the field of automation. It will become an indispensable tool for those who work in such areas as robotics, control systems, information technology and many others. If you are looking for books on automation, control theory or engineering disciplines, this publication will be a real find for you. It will not only expand your knowledge, but also inspire new ideas and projects. As you read this book, you are immersed in a world where classical methods meet innovation, and each volume opens up new horizons in the understanding of automatic control. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of this fascinating journey into the world of technology that is changing our future.
