The purpose of this book is to provide both worked examples and additional problems, with answers only,
which cover the contents of the two Bookboon books Control Engineering: An introduction with the
use of Matlab[1] and An Introduction to Nonlinearity in Control Systems [2], which will be referred to
as references 1 and 2, respectively, throughout this book. In reference 1 the emphasis in the book was to
show how the use of Matlab together with Simulink could avoid the tedium of doing some calculations,
however, there are situations where this may not be possible, such as some student examinations. Thus
in this book as well as working out in many cases the examples ‘long hand’, the solutions obtained using
Matlab/Simulink are also given. Matlab not only allows confirmation of the calculated results but also
