Synopsis

• MATLAB(r) is an interactive program for numerical computation and data visualization that has become an essential tool for control engineers. The Control Tutorials for MATLAB and Simulink (r) included in this package provide a uniquely friendly and quick way to learn how to use MATLAB. The tutorials focus on analysis and design of automatic control systems, covering the basics of MATLAB, the most common classical control design techniques, and some modern (state-space) control design.
• Using web-browser technology, the Control Tutorials allow students to learn MATLAB and Simulink by seeing and doing, practically eliminating the frustration of having to decipher a new software package. Because the Control Tutorials are on screen simultaneously with the software application being taught, they streamline and focus the learning experience by eliminating the distracting process of having to switch attention back and forth between a textbook and the computer screen.

Using web-browser technology, the Control Tutorials allow students to learn MATLAB and Simulink by seeing and doing, practically eliminating the frustration of having to decipher a new software package. Because the Control Tutorials are on screen simultaneously with the software application being taught, they streamline and focus the learning experience by eliminating the distracting process of having to switch attention back and forth between a textbook and the computer screen.

FEATURES/BENEFITS

• NEW―Updated to include material on MATLAB 5 and Simulink. 2.
• Commands shown in the tutorials can be copied from the web browser window and pasted into the MATLAB command window with a simple point and click of the mouse-no time-consuming typing and editing, and no transcription errors.
• The tutorials combine explanatory text with sample MATLAB commands and illustrative plots and graphics; interactive animations help visualize problems and solutions.
• For each topic, the tutorial includes an example problem that is worked out in detail, showing all the necessary steps. In addition, there are seven physical examples that are followed throughout the tutorial, with each design technique applied to each example.
• Hypertext allows students to proceed through the tutorials at their own pace and tailor the learning experience to their personal needs.
