This book is the result of various master and summer school courses the author has taught. The objective is to provide the reader with an introduction to control theory and to the main tools allowing to treat general control systems. The author hopes this book will serve as motivation to go deeper into the theory or numerical aspects that are not covered in this book.

This book might be helpful for graduate students and researchers in the field of control theory.
