"The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering: Mastering Complexity" by Sanjoy Mahajan. It beautifully treats estimation and problem solving techniques, illustrated by examples from science and engineering. Instead of…
Yes, it can easily correspond to a BPF, for example when trying to track a sinusoidal signal, say the AC line frequency. Then you can be reasonably certain that it will be near 50 Hz (or 60 Hz), and the resulting Kalman…
The 4th derivative is quite important for good motion control where it is usually called 'snap'. Specifically, it is relevant both for feedforward control design [1] and trajectory planning [2]. As shown in the latter,…
For electronics, my vote goes to various spectacular application notes from the electronics industry that have stood the test of time. In comparison to the usual literature (textbooks, papers, etc.), these are often…
Control engineering Gunter Stein's inaugural Bode prize lecture from 1989 titled "Respect the Unstable" [0]. In this talk, he uses a minimum of mathematics to clearly demonstrate the fundamental (and inevitable!)…
Same for me. The book and its tools are extremely empowering. In general, anything from Sanjoy Mahajan (the author) is extremely insightful: -Street Fighting Mathematics -The Art of Insight in Science and Engineering…
You can consider it as such, yes. The main difference is that whereas street fighting mathematics was focused more on the mathematical side, this book focuses more on physics. However, the spirit and bold worry-free…
Note: The draft linked in the title [1] has been superseded by the finished book [2] (free pdf download here [3]), which is even better! This is probably the most useful book I have read during my studies in physics and…
