First Edition New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1966 Cloth Very Good/Very Good 8vo Signed by Author 

The classic text on linear systems and control, generously inscribed by the author on the title page "To Marina, May this work show a fraction of what's gone before and in value remains; of the meanings, the outlooks, and concepts well gained from my friend; as for instance the chapter remembered to last.

Professor Newcomb directs the Microsystems Laboratory at UMD and is known for: His outstanding students, having graduated over 60 Ph.D.s , Design and fabrication of the first IC micromotor, His books in VLSI, control, and circuit theory, especially the citation classic "Linear Multiport Synthesis", The first analog circuit designed specifically to give chaos, His n-dimensional Maxwell's equations and their application to human emotions, His support in perpetuity of the American Academy of Poets Prize at UMD, Conceptulization of the Soliton, the P-Adic, and the Fibonacci computers, The initiation of the semistate theory of circuits, His n-port synthesis techniques for analog and DSP systems, His distributional field-extension theory of time varying systems and his square-law non-associative algebra of state described systems, His pulse coded neural type cell and associated networks, VLSI implementation of biologically realistic neural components, The theory behind the KHN filters, His theory of curve tracing and knot tying robots, The initiation of the MTNS International Symposium, His facilitation of the Applied Mathematics Program at UMD

I feel like an underachiever after reaing that.

The book and jacket are complete and clean except for some minor marks on the cover, and spotting on the preliminaries. A unique copy of a seminal work.
