Kalman Filtering book by Peter Maybeck

For beginners, we highly recommend reading Chapter 1 of Peter Maybeck's Stochastic Models, Estimation, and Control, Volume 1, Academic Press, Inc (copyright now owned by Navtech Seminars & GPS Supply). This chapter provides a wonderful, very simple and yet revealing introduction to some of the concepts of Kalman filtering.

Please let me know if you find this useful, and also if you find any transcription errors.
