) As this book perhaps (and hopefully) will be read by readers with widely diff- ing backgrounds, some general advice may be useful: Don’t be put off if paragraphs, comments, or remarks contain material of a seemingly more technical nature that you don’t understand.
From the reviews: "This book provides a comprehensive introduction to stochastic control. ... The treatment is at the level of a first course, with several examples and exercises. The book can be used by undergraduate students, but also by graduate students, engineers and others who study control, systems and related areas or want to extend their knowledge in these topics."
