systems are designed to deal with, to adapt to, chang­ ing environmental conditions whilst maintaining performance objectives. Over the years, the theory of adaptive systems evolved from relatively simple and intuitive concepts to a complex multifaceted theory dealing with stochastic, nonlinear and infinite dimensional systems. This book provides a first introduction to the theory of adaptive systems. The book grew out of a graduate course that the authors taught several times in Australia, Belgium, and The Netherlands for students with an engineering and/or mathemat­ ics background. When we taught the course for the first time, we felt that there was a need for a textbook that would introduce the reader to the main aspects of adaptation with emphasis on clarity of presentation and precision rather than on comprehensiveness. The present book tries to serve this need. We expect that the reader will have taken a basic course in linear algebra and mul­ tivariable calculus. Apart from the basic concepts borrowed from these areas of mathematics, the book is intended to be self contained. 410 0$aSystems & Control: Foundations & Applications,$x2324-9757 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aControl theory 606 $aMathematical models 606 $aProbabilities 606 $aSystems Theory, Control 606 $aMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics 606 $aProbability Theory 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 0$aControl theory. 615 0$aMathematical models. 615 0$aProbabilities. 615 14$aSystems Theory, Control. 615 24$aMathematical Modeling and Industrial Mathematics. 615 24$aProbability Theory. 676 $a519 700 $aMareels$b Iven$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01829744 702 $aPolderman$b Jan Willem$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960440903321 996 $aAdaptive Systems$94430411 997 $aUNINA
