Applied Digital Control by J R Leigh
An essential core text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in digital control, this volume develops theoretical foundations and explains how control systems work in real industrial situations. Several case histories assist students in visualizing the theory's applications.After a careful development of theoretical foundations, the text moves into the real world with detailed reviews of five commercially available distributed control systems. Throughout, the author emphasizes robustness, realistic adaptive control, and the successful application of digital control theory to real problems. Numerous exercises are included to ensure understanding and retention of the material.

Professor Leigh was educated at Sheffield City Grammar School, Sheffield College of Technology (Freshgate Scholarship Prizewinner) and at Cambridge and London Universities, from which he holds higher degrees in both Control Engineering and Pure Mathematics. He has worked in both small and large industrial organisations on the development and application of control systems. His last industrial post was Head of Control Systems Research in the Corporate Engineering Laboratory of the British Steel Corporation. In his current appointment as Post Above Reader in the Polytechnic of Central London, he is concerned with control theory and with industrial control applications. These interests are supported by consultancy on novel control applications, particularly in the biotechnological field. He is an editorial adviser on process control to the journal 'Process Engineering'.
He has published or coauthored over 100 research papers and several books, including 'Essentials of nonlinear control theory', 'Applied control theory', 'Modelling and simulation' and 'Modelling and control of fermentation processes'.
He is active in both the London Biotechnology Centre and in the Institute of Biotechnological Studies of which he is an Honorary Associate. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, a Member of the Cambridge University Engineers' Association, a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and a Member of the London Mathematical Society.
