Basic MATLAB , Simulink and Stateflow

by Richard Colgren, AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics, Richard D. Colgren

Overview

The book is distinctive as it takes a practical, hands-on approach to programming in MATLAB(R) and modeling in Simulink(R) and Stateflow(R) for aerospace and other engineering applications.
The materials support a MATLAB(R)/Simulink(R) course designed to take approximately forty hours. However, the material is designed to be modular and thus flexible for use in a variety of teaching and time formats, or for self-study. Professors and industrial trainers will find the materials most useful when used in a computer laboratory environment, with the students working on the examples along with the instructor. The student is not required to have any particular technical background or past experience with MATLAB(R), Simulink(R) or Stateflow(R), yet users familiar with either software tool will also find these materials useful.
The materials covered within this book were generated using using Version 7.3 of MATLAB(R), Simulink(R) Version 6.5 and Stateflow(R) Version 6.5.
For Instructors: A complimentary CD-ROM includes an instructor's guide including the solutions manual, and complete PowerPoint classroom presentation materials.
