Basic Control Systems Engineering - Tapa dura

Appropriate for a basic course in Control Systems Engineering in departments of Electrical, Mechanical, Aerospace, and Chemical Engineering. The level is suitable for junior or senior engineering students. This very accessible-text integrates realistic examples throughout its presentation of control systems engineering. By employing the remarkable capabilities of today's computers and programming techniques, the authors describe methodologies for reducing computational difficulties and improving insight into essential areas of study. Coverage addresses the needs of today's practicing engineers by including such topics as the simulation of commonly observed nonlinear phenomena and the design of discrete-event control systems. First controls that to integrate both MATLAB and SIMULINK.
