Very Good Book to Study Adaptive Control

I found this book explains the field of adaptive control very well. It covers its basic theory, its proof, and also its application. It is very good book for anybody who has interest in adaptive contro, and for anybody who will just begin to study about adaptive control.

Skips some math, but implementable algorithms

I found this text to be an overall excellent compilation of many different adaptive techniques. If you are looking for a text to contain proofs versus 'justifications', then this book isn't for you (steps are skipped to emphasize the result). However, if you implement the algorithms, you will get the results as stated. The book states up front that it is limited to SISO. However, in the references at the end of a chapter, you will find MIMO references (IEEE pubs, etc). I've enjoyed the book, and I'm keeping it.

Easy to understand introduction to adaptive control

This book is easy to understand compared to other adaptive control texts. The examples are interwoven with the text. The theoretical complexity of adaptive control is contained in a few chapters and can be visited after some experience with the practical aspects have been obtained.
