• A Short History of Feedback Control (Click Here)
  
  Chapter 1 Introduction to Modern Control Theory, of Frank L. Lewis Applied Optimal Control and Estimation, Prentice-Hall, 1992 is now on the www.theorem.net website. the URL is http://www.theorem.net/lewis1.html. The chapter outlines a history of control beginning with the Greeks and Arabs and going through this century.
