This text is an enlarged (Second) edition and it is based on Simulink Version 7.1. It contains many illustrative examples.

Based on the latest MATLAB® and Simulink® 2011 versions, this edition contains five chapters on engineering applications and 20 appendixes describing all Simulink functional blocks followed by illustrative examples

This text is an introduction to Simulink, a companion application to MATLAB. It is written for students at the undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as for the working professional. Although some previous knowledge of MATLAB would be helpful, it is not absolutely necessary; Appendix A of this text is an Introduction to MATLAB to enable the reader to begin learning both MATLAB and Simulink to perform graphical computations and programming.Chapters 2 through 18 describe the blocks of all Simulink libraries. Their application is illustrated with practical examples through Simulink models, some of which are supplemented with MATLAB functions, commands, and statements. Chapters 1 and 19 contain several Simulink models to illustrate various applied math and engineering applications. Appendix B is an introduction to difference equations as they apply to discrete?{time systems, and Appendix C introduces the reader to random generation procedures.This text supplements our Numerical Analysis with MATLAB and Spreadsheet Applications, ISBN 0-9709511-1-6. It is self-contained; the blocks of each library are described in an orderly fashion that is consistent with Simulink!|s documentation. This arrangement provides insight into how a model is used and how its parts interact with each another.Like MATLAB, Simulink can be used with both linear and nonlinear systems, which can be modeled in continuous time, sample time, or a hybrid of these. Examples are provided in this text.Most of the examples presented in this book can be implemented with the Student Versions of MATLAB and Simulink. A few may require the full versions of these outstanding packages, and can be skipped. Some add?{ons, known as Toolboxes and Blocksets can be obtained from The MathWorks, Inc., 3 Apple Hill Drive, Natick, MA 01760?{2098, USA, www.mathworks.com.

Employ essential and hands-on tools and functions of the MATLAB and Simulink packages, which are explained and demonstrated via interactive examples and case studies. This book contains dozens of simulation models and solved problems via m-files/scripts and Simulink models which help you to learn programming and modeling essentials. You’ll become efficient with many of the built-in tools and functions of MATLAB/Simulink while solving engineering and scientific computing problems. Beginning MATLAB and Simulink explains various practical issues of programming and modelling in parallel by comparing MATLAB and Simulink. After reading and using this book, you'll be proficient at using MATLAB and applying the source code from the book's examples as templates for your own projects in data science or engineering.

MATLAB can be used to execute many mathematical and engineering calculations, as well as a handheld computer can-if not better. Moreover, like many other computer languages, it can perform tasks that a handheld computer cannot. Compared to other computer languages, MATLAB provides many built-in functions that make learning easier and reduce prototy

MATLAB is a high-performance technical computing language. It has an incredibly rich variety of functions and vast programming capabilities. SIMULINK is a software package for modeling, simulating, and analysing dynamic systems. MATLAB and SIMULINK are integrated and one can simulate, analyse, or revise the models in either environment. The book MATLAB and SIMULINK for Engineers aims to capture the beauty of these software and serve as a self study material for engineering students who would be required to use these software for varied courses.
