1: Read before buying
I can't comment on the prior reviews given here except to say the my experience with the text is so orthogonal the these opinions that I though I should write a review. If you like your books terse, mathematically precise, rigorous, and without anything resembling hand holding or coaching then by all means this is your book. I have to disagree that there is minimal mathematical preparation required. I would suggest a very rigorous linear algebra background and a working knowledge of state space differential eqn before you try this one. If you are an academic who wants hair splitting precise buildup of the theory then its for you. If you just start grad school and taking first level linear system class I have recommend against this book. Brogan is must have for starters but it could use a little more mathematical rigor and depth. Throw these two books into a blender and you just might have the ideal one. Someone please write a rigorous linear system text that is readable as a stand alone book please. I suggest Brogan update his.

2: Great!
In contrast of that comments a reader in review of the excellent book "Linear System Theory" by C. T. Chen, a book of linear systems theory five star exists, and this is the book! Reference, textbook, as much for undergraduate as for graduate, definitively, the best!

3: Great, Useful and Enjoyable
This book serves as an excellent textbook for introductory graduate course in control theory. It is very well written with unambiguous statements and rigorous logic. I found it very enjoyable and was quite amazed by the theory in it. It still serves as a useful handbook to me right now. Not much background in math/control is required, but some basic knowledge in matrix is helpful. For those who have completely forgotten their freshman-year algebra course, appendices are provided with concise content and useful conclusions. So it does not take long to refresh.
