VERY GOOD5
I learned Optimal Control before 30 years and I forgot everything . I tried learn again with my old notebook and lot of files found on the web, but I have got broken knowledge. Now with this book I know Optimal Control even better from the past.

A really good book for introduction to Optimal Control. As a Power System specialist, I acquired a very good comprehension about optimal control using such book.

Very good introduction5
A complete introduction to optimal control theory, both from the point of view of dynamic programming and the Pontryagin's maximum principle. Ideal for starters like myself!
