In each chapter, there are five problem types:
Exercises
Problems
Advanced Problems
Design Problems/Continuous Design Problem
Computer Problems
In total, there are over 980 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 Toolbox or to LabVIEW and the MathScript RT Mod-
ule. All of the computer solutions in this Solution Manual were developed
and tested on an Apple MacBook Pro platform using MATLAB R2020a
and the Control System Toolbox Version 9.6 and LabVIEW 2020. It is not
possible to verify each solution on all the available computer platforms
that are compatible with MATLAB and LabVIEW MathScript RT Mod-
ule. Please forward any incompatibilities you encounter with the scripts
to Prof. Bishop at the email address given below.
The authors and the staff at Pearson Education would like to establish
an open line of communication with the instructors using Modern Con-
trol Systems. We encourage you to contact Pearson with comments and
suggestions for this and future editions.
