Basic MATLAB, Simulink and Stateflow

This self-contained instruction package includes the textbook, Basic MATLAB, Simulink and Stateflow, the instructorís guide, complete PowerPoint classroom presentation materials, homework problems, and a solutions manual. The book is distinctive as it takes a practical, hands-on approach to programming in MATLAB and modeling in Simulink and Stateflow for aerospace and other engineering applications.
The materials support a MATLAB/Simulink 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 Simulink or Stateflow, yet users familiar with either software tool will also find these materials useful.
The materials covered within this book were generated using Version 7.1 of MATLAB (Release 14 Service Pack 3), Simulink Version 6.3 and Stateflow Version 6.3.

Richard Colgren is an associate professor in aerospace engineering at The University of Kansas. He earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering with a minor in aeronautical engineering and his M.S. from the University of Southern California. His B.S. in aeronautical and astronautical engineering is from The University of Washington. He spent 20 years at the Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company and 2 years at the Northrop Corporation specializing in embedded software, flight control, piloted and UAV systems, cockpit procedures, flight test, and accident investigation. He is internationally recognized for his over 80 publications and 2 patents. He has taught numerous seminars, workshops, and courses in MATLAB, Simulink, linear systems theory, control and communication systems, computer architecture, UAV conceptual design, mathematics, and statistics.
