Introduction to System Science with MATLAB

<p><b>Explores mathematical basis for developing and evaluating continuous and discrete systems</b> <p>In this revised Second Edition of <b>Introduction to System Science</b><i> with MATLAB&reg;</i>, the authors Gary Sandquist and Zakary Wilde provide a comprehensive exploration of essential concepts, mathematical framework, analytical resources, and productive skills required to address any rational system confidently and adequately for quantitative evaluation. <p>This Second Edition is supplemented with new updates to the mathematical and technical materials from the first edition. A new chapter to assist readers to generalize and execute algorithms for systems development and analysis, as well as an expansion of the chapter covering specific system science applications, is included. <p>The book provides the mathematical basis for developing and evaluating single and multiple input/output systems that are continuous or discrete. It offers the mathematical basis for the recognition, definition, quantitative modeling, analysis, and evaluation in system science. <p>The book also provides: <ul> <li>Comprehensive introduction to system science and the principles of causality, cause and effect operations, including their historical and scientific background</li> <li>Complete exploration of fundamental systems concepts and basic system equations, including definitions and classifications</li> <li>Practical applications and discussions of single-input systems, multiple-input systems, and system modeling and evaluation</li> <li>In-depth examination of generalized system analysis methods and specific system science applications</li></ul><p>Perfect for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in engineering, mathematics, and physical sciences. <b>Introduction to System Science</b><i> with MATLAB&reg; </i>will also earn a prominent place in libraries of researchers in the life and social sciences.
