P R E F A C E
In each chapter, there are five problem typ es:
Exercises
Problems
Advanced Problems
Design Problems/Continuous Design Problem
Computer Problems
In total, there are over 1000 problems. The abundance of problems of in-
creasing complexity gives students confidence in their problem-solving
ability as they work their way from the exercises to the design and
computer-based problems.
It is assumed that instructors (and students) have access to MATLAB
and the Control System Toolb ox or to LabVIEW and the MathScript RT
Module. All of the computer solutions in this Solution Manual were devel-
oped and tested on an Apple MacBook Pro platform using MATLAB 7.6
Release 2008a and the Control System Toolbox Version 8.1 and LabVIEW
2009. It is not possible to verify each solution on all the available computer
platforms that are compatible with MATLAB and LabVIEW MathScript
RT Module. Please f orward any incompatibilities you en counter with the
scripts to P rof. Bishop at the email address given below.
The auth ors and the staff at Prentice Hall would like to establish an
open line of communication with the instructors using Modern Control
Systems. We encourage you to contact P rentice Hall with comments and
suggestions for th is an d futur e editions.
