If anyone wants to dive into control theory I recommend reading the
book "Feedback control of dynamic systems" by Franklin, Powell and Emami-Naeini.
It's very accessible, requires only little more than high school math and
is geared to an engineering approach (ie lots of real world examples and
how to solve them)
