✦ Synopsis

Feedback control systems is an important course in aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and mechatronics engineering, to name just a few.

Feedback control systems improve the system's behavior so the desired response can be achieved.

The first course on control engineering deals with Continuous Time (CT) Linear Time Invariant (LTI) systems. Plenty of good textbooks on the subject are available on the market, so there is no need to add one more. This book does not focus on the control engineering theories as it is assumed that the reader is familiar with them, i.e., took/takes a course on control engineering, and now wants to learn the applications of MATLAB^(R) in control engineering. The focus of this book is control engineering applications of MATLAB^(R) for a first course on control engineering.
