• Sommario/riassunto: Control theory is a theory that deals with influencing the behavior of dynamical systems and an interdisciplinary sub-field of science, and evolved into use by the social sciences, such as psychology, sociology and criminology. This book presents and discusses topical data on control theory relating to these fields.
