Computers have been an indispensable engineering tool for more than three decades. They are used extensively for analysis and design and often as system components. Recently, inexpensive and easy-to-use software packages have become widely available, making it possible to focus on the problem being solved rather than on the programming necessary to obtain a solution. This book is built around one such software package, MATLAB, Which is in widespread use in both academia and industry.
Our goal is to provide an effective and efficient environment for students to learn the theory and problem-solving skills for linear systems. The material is designed to provide appropriate background to proceed into areas such as communications, control systems, digital filter design and signal processing, and analog filter design.
