Summary

"The purpose of this book is to elucidate the variational methods underlying optimum control theory, especially for the electrical engineer, and to acquaint the reader with the application of these methods to the solution of specific technical problems. The book assumes that the reader has the proper mathematical background such as the customary mathematical curriculum of the majority of engineering schools."--Preface.
