Beschreibung:It is unclear when exactly the field of mathematical electrical engineering was born, but there is no doubt that Kolmogoroff, Krein, Shannon, and Wiener gave the field a definitive form in the late forties and early fifties through their work on filtering and prediction theory, information theory, and operator theory. Kalman's introduction in the early sixties of the dynamical viewpoint in filtering and control- with its associated methods of differential equations and Markov processes- gave the field new strength and vigor. The best work in systems and control theory makes it clear that the creative modeling of phenomena and the conceptualization of systems using mathematics and the subsequent mathematical analysis of these models to get a deeper understanding of the phenomena are what is central to the field. To paraphrase Galileo, the book of the engineered world is often written in the language of higher mathematics. Roger Brockett has been a remarkable contributor to this tradition of mathematical engineering. This book bears testimony to his creativity, virtuosity, and intellectual integrity. It gives me great pleasure to see the exploration of his ideas in the papers that have been written for this volume. As somebody who knows Roger Brockett's work well, I can see his invisible touch throughout the book. One of the privileges of being associated with a university is the satisfaction of seeing graduate students develop their potential and become creative scientists in their own right. I have known all the authors for many years, some while they were still graduate students, and therefore it is doubly a pleasure to see their contributions in this volume. This is an auspicious moment in Roger's life. Not often will he have the opportunity to look both forwards and backwards, to take stock of the past and predict the future. It remains for me to wish that he will continue his creative life for the next sixty years
