This book serves as an introduction to Matlab for anyone who studies or designs control systems. Through extensive interactive examples and exercises that demonstrate Matlab fundamentals and plotting capabilities, students quickly learn how to use the software to perform calculations and generate graphs essential to control system analysis and design. The manual includes an introduction to Simulink software and Handle Graphics. With Simulink, students can use block diagrams to simulate linear and nonlinear systems and display the results.
