Simon (Cleveland State U.) presents an accessible yet rigorous graduate-level text on approaches to estimating the state of a general system, for engineers across the disciplines. Written with an engineering slant rather than as a mathematics text (although both discrete-time systems and continuous-time systems are addressed for the sake of completeness), the material requires a graduate-level foundation in linear systems theory and probablility and stochastic processes and a moderately high level of mathematical and engineering maturity. Distinguishing this text from others on the subject are examples that do not require a computer so that students gain an intuitive understanding of each theory, web access to MATLAB-based source code, and thorough treatment of advanced topics. With this text under their belt, advanced students can launch their own contributions to the field. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
