"This book is intended to provide readers ... a complete and up-to-date presentation of the geometric approach to nonlinear control systems and its design techniques. Particular attention is given to new topics, new results, and new design techniques. ... An effort has been made to make the concepts understandable for engineers or readers not specializing in mathematics; for instance, new concepts are defined initially in local coordinates and later for general topological spaces or manifolds, elementary proofs are presented and some proofs have been simplified."
