Contemporary Linear Systems Using MATLAB / Edition 1

by Robert S. Strum, Donald E. Kirk

Overview

This book thoroughly integrates the use of the MATLAB computing environment into the standard sequence of courses taken by electrical engineering majors. Use of this text makes it possible to focus on the problems being solved rather than on the programming necessary to obtain a solution. The authors utilize a computer-biased approach in which computer solutions and theory are viewed as mutually reinforcing rather than as an either/or proposition. Additionally, they adhere to the axiom that one learns by doing rather than by listening - this text features more than 100 examples, 200 exercises, and 250 MATLAB scripts that directly support the authors' flexible treatment of discrete and continuous time.

About the Author

Professor Robert D. Strum was Professor Emeritus in electrical and computer engineering at the Naval Postgraduate School. A veteran of World War II, Professor Strum later taught at Rose Polytechnic University for ten years. In 1956, he began a master's program at Stanford University and taught at U.S. Postgraduate School in Monterey, California for 33 years. He was also a Senior Fulbright Fellow. He conducted early research into computer assisted instruction, which led to many years of studies and publications. Professor Strum passed away in November 2008.

Dr. Donald E. Kirk is Dean Emeritus of the College of Engineering of San Jose State University.

Editorial Reviews

A text designed for educators who want to integrate computer-based learning tools into their courses, providing background needed to pursue areas such as communications, control systems, and signal processing. Each chapter contains a preview, basic concepts, solved examples and MATLAB applications, reinforcement and exploration problems, summaries of definitions and techniques, and answers for all problems. Assumes background in calculus, differential equations, and matrix operations, plus a first courses in electrical engineering, and familiarity with a programming language. The authors are affiliated with the Naval Postgraduate School, and San Jose State University. This may be a reprint of a 1994 title, although the book carries no such indication. Annotation c.
