FBSwiki has been created as an online resource for the textbook Feedback Systems by Karl J. Astrom and Richard M. Murray. This wiki contains information that is intended to be useful for readers in understanding the material as well as instructors who want to use the text for a class.

The wiki pages can only be changed by registered users, who must be approved by the authors. Anonymous edits of all pages (including talk pages) have been turned off due to abuses by spambots. If you are using Feedback Systems for a class and would like to be able to add information to the wiki, please send e-mail to Richard Murray.
