Part 1 : Educational Manual / State Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education "Moscow State Institute of Radio Engineering , Electronics and Automation (Technical University)"Selected sections of the theory, knowledge of which is minimally sufficient for practical engineering work with automatic control systems . When presenting the material, only widely used and familiar to the engineer sections of mathematics are used. From the possible sets of methods that provide solutions to certain classes of problems, the book outlines those methods in which there is more physical meaning. The book is intended for students of higher technical educational institutions studying in the direction of "Automation and Control", and for those who want to learn the basics of the theory of automatic control (TAU) independently. The nature of the presentation of the material is focused on self-studying TAU, in particular, on correspondence students and engineers for whom this discipline was not a profile. The first part of the book describes the elements of linear systems of continuous action.
