About this book

This book provides insight and enhanced appreciation of analysis, modeling and control of dynamic systems. The reader is assumed to be familiar with calculus, physics and some programming skills. It might develop the reader’s ability to interpret physical significance of mathematical results in system analysis. The book also prepares the reader for more advanced treatment of subsequent knowledge in the automatic control field. Learning objectives are performance-oriented, using for this purpose interactive MATLAB and SIMULINK software tools. It presents realistic problems in order to analyze, design and develop automatic control systems. Learning with computing tools can aid theory and help students to think, analyze and reason in meaningful ways. The book is also complemented with classroom slides and MATLAB and SIMULINK exercise files to aid students to focus on fundamental concepts treated.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“This well-written textbook contains many illustrations, figures, and worked examples. Furthermore, helpful hints to the use of software tools are given. The book can be recommended for introductory courses in systems analysis and automatic control.” (Kurt Marti, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1221, 2011)
