- I think the best nonlinear control text available is Nijmeijer and van
- der Schaft's _Nonlinear Dynamical Control Systems_ (Springer-Verlag,
- 1990). This book is at the senior or first year graduate level, and
- develops various differential geometric tools as required. (One main
- gripe: for fifty bucks you think Springer could have typeset this book!)
-
- For an undergraduate level textbook, see Slotine and Li's _Applied
- Nonlinear Control_ (Prentice Hall, 1991). This book works entirely in
- R^n (you must decide if this is a strength or weakness), and contains
- some interesting examples.
