Abstract

We are about to begin a wonderful trip in the world of control systems, which are all around us. We are not used to seeing them, but their presence is indispensable for the existence of the world and of life. We need to gradually understand how they really operate in order to recognize, simulate, and improve them. The reader should know that this is not a mathematics, engineering, physics, biology, economics, or sociology book. I have chosen to present the logic of control systems using the simple but powerful and clear language of systems thinking for interpreting the world as a system of dynamic systems of interconnected and interacting variables.

We know nothing at all. All our knowledge is but the knowledge of schoolchildren. The real nature of things we shall never know (Albert Einstein).
As this book deals with Control Systems considered from various points of view, a complete bibliography may appear to be boundless. Here I have only listed the works cited in the book. All the sites mentioned have been visited in April 2014. In order to make it easier for the reader to directly examine
