<p>The mathematical theory of networks and systems has a long, and rich history, with antecedents in circuit synthesis and the analysis, design and synthesis of actuators, sensors and active elements in both electrical and mechanical systems. Fundamental paradigms such as the state-space real ization of an input/output system, or the use of feedback to prescribe the behavior of a closed-loop system have proved to be as resilient to change as were the practitioners who used them.

Treats "the basic concepts and terminology of modern global differential geometry" for the benefit of engineers particularly control engineers. And unlike many books (written by authors who seem anxious to vanish as soon as possible over the nearest abstract horizon) which pretend to be "useful", this one shows every sign of having been actually and extensively field-tested. The authors adhere to the absolute essentials of their topic, and have been at pains to write with exquisite clarity. Index and brief bibliography, but no exercises.
