"An excellent introduction to optimal control and estimation theory and its relationship with LQG design. . . . invaluable as a reference for those already familiar with the subject." -- Automatica. This highly regarded graduate-level text provides a comprehensive introduction to optimal control theory for stochastic systems, emphasizing application of its basic concepts to real problems. The first two chapters introduce optimal control and review the mathematics of control and estimation. Chapter 3 addresses optimal control of systems that may be nonlinear and time-varying, but whose inputs and parameters are known without error. Chapter 4 of the book presents methods for estimating the dynamic states of a system that is driven by uncertain forces and is observed with random measurement error. Chapter 5 discusses the general problem of stochastic optimal control, and the concluding chapter covers linear time-invariant systems. Robert F. Stengel is Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University, where he directs the Topical Program on Robotics and Intelligent Systems and the Laboratory for Control and Automation. He was a principal designer of the Project Apollo Lunar Module control system. "An excellent teaching book with many examples and worked problems which would be ideal for self-study or for use in the classroom. . . . The book also has a practical orientation and would be of considerable use to people applying these techniques in practice." -- Short Book Reviews, Publication of the International Statistical Institute. "An excellent book which guides the reader through most of the important concepts and techniques. . . . A useful book for students (and their teachers) and for those practicing engineers who require a comprehensive reference to the subject." -- Library Reviews, The Royal Aeronautical Society.Binding Type: Paperback

Worth it
Okay first night using and I’m in love. Smells amazing. I’m particular about my vanillas but this is light but strong. Doesn’t disappear right away sits on the skin nice and drifts on the air as a nice aroma. Dries down wonderfully too. I did have to use a few pumps to cover each part of my body but so worth it. It’s not greasy at all and gives a nice glow. Application was easy and I do feel moisturized. Looking for the lotion version now to layer over top it.

A GREAT OIL FOR YOUR SKIN
I JUST REVIEWED THE LOTION WHICH I LOVED AND I ALSO LOVE THIS OIL. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A LITTLE BIT PRICEY BECAUSE THE BOTTLE IS A BIT SMALL HOWEVER YOU REALLY ONLY NEED A SMALL AMOUNT AS A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. IT ABSORBS INTO YOUR SKIN NICELY WITHOUT FEEL OVERLY GREASY AND IT LEAVES YOUR SKIN SOFT AND SMELLING VERY NICE. THE SMELL IS LOVELY BUT IT ISN'T A REAL STRONG SMELL AND THE VANILLA ISN'T OVERLY SWEET EITHER. IT IS THE PERFECT VANILLA. IT LEAVES YOUR SKIN REFRESHED AND I LOVE IT !! IT GOES GREAT WITH THE LOTION.

Very moisturizing with a great vanilla scent
I love this body oil. Very hydrating and smells amazing. It has replaced the original Palmer’s cocoa butter, body oil for me just because I like the smell better. It leaves my skin looking glowy and feels so smooth. I smell like vanilla all day. I like the pump top. It is easier to apply. Very silky consistency

Love the smell and great for my skin
This has become a permanent part of my shower routine. I use it right after I turn the water off while I am still wet, I cover my entire body from the neck down using about 8-10 pumps. I will wrap my body in a towel and finish getting ready (brush teeth, face moisturizer and blow drying hair) and then I will gently rub the towel everywhere incase there is any excess oil after it had the time to absorb into my skin. I dont think it leaves any greasiness at all, its really lightweight. What I love most of all is the smell though. A very nice, light, sweet vanilla smell lingers on your skin until your next shower. You have to put your nose pretty close to your skin to smell it so you wont be bothering anyone who had scent sensitivities. I have been using this for almost a year now and I still keep bringing my forearm to my nose to smell my skin because I love it so much. My skin has improved so much since I started using this.

JUST BUY IT!!! Finally found what I was looking for
This is the first time I have ever written a review - THATS how good this product is!!
It smells like vanilla bean ice cream, it is so deliciously sweet and fragrant. I have been searching for something that leaves a strong yet natural scent on the skin and this is it.
It makes me feel like a sweet and soft ethereal fairy princess and is so so so moisturizing on the skin. My bf loves it and has pointed out multiple times how soft my skin is just from a few uses
I use it right out of the shower while my skin is still a bit wet. It is lightweight enough where it dries quickly enough for me to put my pajamas on without greasy-ness. I'm at work the morning after and can still lightly smell it on myself
If you're looking for a sign - this is it - JUST BUY IT!!! :)
