"The monograph presents a systematically written and organized text focused on understanding and the capability to apply the developed theory of the attractive ellipsoid method to real-world problems. ... The book will be useful to interested undergraduate and graduate students familiar with sufficient knowledge of modern systems theory as well as to professionals in control engineering and applied mathematics, and also to general readers interested in this emerging subject."
