Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber sent his annual State of the University letter to faculty, students and staff on Thursday, Feb. 4, reflecting on the role of the University in a time of crisis.
Edited by Karl Johan Åström and Richard M. Murray
This textbook covers the mathematics needed to model, analyze, and design feedback systems. Now more user-friendly than ever, this revised and expanded edition of Feedback Systems is a one-volume resource for students and researchers in mathematics and engineering.
It has applications across a range of disciplines that utilize feedback in physical, biological, information, and economic systems, says a review on the Princeton University Press website.
Karl Åström and Richard Murray use techniques from physics, computer science, and operations research to introduce control-oriented modeling.
They begin with state space tools for analysis and design, including stability of solutions, Lyapunov functions, reachability, state feedback observability, and estimators.

On 28 August 1833, some twenty-six years after the abolition of slave trade in 1807, the British Parliament finally voted for the gradual emancipation of the enslaved people in the British Caribbean, Mauritius and the Cape. The Act for the abolition of slavery throughout the British colonies, for promoting the industry of manumitted slaves, and for compensating the persons hitherto entitled to the services of such slaves represented a compromise between abolit

“Some would say we have arrived at a postracial America, but The Imperative of Integration indicates otherwise,” they continue. “Join author Elizabeth Anderson, American’s foremost philosopher, as we discuss why racial integration is needed more than ever to overcome justice and inequality, to build a better democracy.
