Using MATLAB to Analyze and Design Control Systems (2nd Edition)

Rating:
Summary: A very good introduction to the power of MATLAB
Review: This book provides a good introduction to the power of MATLAB to analyze control systems. It is directed mostly at the 400 level undergraduate, but the practicing engineer might find it of use as an introduction. It is a good balance between teaching the discipline of control systems and the uncovering syntax of MATLAB. MATLAB is pretty straight forward and and almost intuitive (except for its horrible printing commands). This book takes advantage of the fairly easy syntax to get on with some interesting engineering applications. As the title suggests, the applications are in the area of control systems asa encountered by the electrical engineer.
