About the Author: Brian F.
An appendix reviews concepts related to vector calculus, including open and closed sets, compactness, continuity, and derivative.
Additional topics include the fundamental notions of manifolds, tangent spaces, vector fields, exterior algebra, and Lie algebras.
Suitable for independent study as well as a supplementary text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, this volume also constitutes a valuable reference for control, systems, aeronautical, electrical, and mechanical engineers.
The treatment\'s ideas are applied mainly as an Introduction to the Lie theory of Differential equations and to examine the role of Grassmannians in control systems analysis.
