Finally, Part III, which is largely independent of the previous parts, is ideally suited for advanced research seminars aimed at preparing graduate students for independent research. “Mathematics of Networks of Linear Systems” contains a large number of exercises and examples throughout the text making it suitable for graduate courses in the area.
