The purpose of this book is to alleviate some of the confusion and diffi- culty in understanding the design, analysis, and robustness of a wide class of adaptive control for continuous-time plants . . . . .

Why are elements with tiny angles harmless for interpolation, but deadly for stiffness matrix conditioning? Why are long, thin elements with angles near 180o terrible in isotropic cases but perfectly . . . . .
