Publisher's Synopsis
The book takes plunge into the exciting field of control system analysis via conventional method and by making use of MATLAB side by side to strengthen the theoretical study with the help of MATLAB application software. The initial chapters are devoted to the basic study of the control systems and towards understanding of the MATLAB computing environment so that the readers need not consult any other book on the subject. Emphasis has been laid in a systematic manner to drive home the basic principles of the control systems with solved examples. The aim is to ensure that once the reader acquires the basic graduation competency, the theoretical and practical problems faced in their long career are linked, visualized and investigated quickly with the help of MATLAB. Each chapter starts with the learning objectives. Mid way key points learnt are highlighted and the end of each chapter presents the rundown of the entire chapter. A number of solved problems exemplify the basic principles and the review exercises helps the students to practice on their own. This makes the book an ideal reference book to the control system engineers.
