Author Description

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.
